Golden Products Demo: Watermedia, Mixed Media & More
with Golden Representative Roy Kinzer
Wednesday, August 22, 2018, 7-9 pm • FREE
FULL! Please call or email for wait list!
Get a sneak peek at the mediums and paints you can experiment with in the hands-on workshop:
A-Z Textures with Patti Mollica, September 29, 2018.
This lecture/demo will explore the vast potential of Golden gels, mediums, and pastes which can be used for traditional painting techniques, printing, and collage (they are great adhesives for mixed media).
Roy will help to demystify pigments, tints and hues, and extend your paint by as much as 70%. You will learn how to control drying time with the OPEN line and create any desired texture or effect with Heavy Body paints. Roy will demonstrate techniques associated with oils, such as wet-into-wet and glazing. He will also introduce QoR (pronounced “core”) the first major improvement to watercolors in 150 years!
All participants receive a free packet of Golden samples.
Roy Kinzer is an artist whose aerial landscape paintings are derived from altered maps and satellite images. He received the prestigious Pollock-Krasner award in 2004. He has completed numerous commissions, the most recent: Price Waterhouse Coopers, Boston, 2015; Grant Thornton, LLC, Manhattan, 2014; and the Hyatt Regency New Orleans, in 2011. In 2013, after being included in “Art and Science” at the Freyberger Gallery, Penn State Berks in Reading PA, the University acquired four of his paintings for their science building. He has an M.F.A. (Vermont College) and a Certificate of Art (Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art). He has exhibited extensively and is currently represented by Falcon Power.
