In this intro class you will learn painting techniques with acrylics using different size brushes with artist Wayne McKinzie. We will also learn perspective, how colors interact and how to mix paint to a specific thickness and color.
Wayne is known for his acrylic paintings of nature and farmlands where he captures the light and dark shadows in colorful acrylic paintings, first starting with a study of how contrast in nature draws a viewer.
Artist Biography
Wayne’s strong sense of design is derived from the Aboriginal art of his native Australia. His paintings are a visual journey that allows the essence of his subject matter to come to life.
His work appears in private collections throughout North America, Europe and Australasia.
