CRITERIA All styles from non-objective to abstracted realism are welcome. All works must be original and have been created in the last five years. References used in the creation of the submitted work must be the artist’s own, or copyright-released for use in this work. Works previously exhibited at The Art Guild Gallery will not be considered.

SIZE AND FRAMING: Size, with frame, must not exceed 36” on the longest side. Work should be cleanly matted and/or framed (if appropriate), wired securely for hanging, with the wire attached via screw eyes or D-rings to the frame (not the backboard). Gallery wraps are acceptable, but they must be a least 1” thick with all edges painted and no staples showing. Sculpture is limited to 30lbs and can be no larger than 24”W by 36”H. No saw tooth hangers, tape or string on the back. Work must be labeled with artist’s name, phone number and email address.
Framing of your work must comply with the above OR IT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

The A-to-Z Textures and Surfaces Workshop
with Patti Mollica
One-Day: Saturday, September 29
10 am – 4 pm
$125M/$160NM
Filled – Please Call for Waiting List
Calling all watercolorists, mixed media artists, pastelists,
acrylic and oil painters…
Have you ever walked into the art supply store and seen all sorts of new materials and mediums
and wondered how to use them? If you answered “yes,” then this workshop is for you!
Join us for hands-on creative experimentation with acrylic textures and grounds that can take your paintings and drawings in many exciting new directions!
In this all inclusive full-day workshop you will experiment with a variety of materials that offer dramatic textural possibilities that can be used with watercolor, pastel, acrylic and even oils. If you are only familiar with working on canvas, paper or hardboard, this workshop will open your eyes to an entirely new world of unique surfaces and textures, pastes, gels and grounds that can push your work in eye-catching new directions.
Don’t miss this opportunity to try an extensive range of unique products. This workshop will introduce you to a world of fresh new ideas and creativity. Artists of all levels and mediums will come away from it with new insights to inspire their creative expressions.
• Learn how to add pizzaz and unique effects to your artistic style, whether it’s contemporary or traditional.
• Learn how to incorporate any dry media into your paintings.
• Experiment with interference and iridescent paints and how to create shimmmery glowing passages…
• and more!
Below is a partial list of Golden gels, pastes and grounds that you will experiment with in the workhop:
• Light Molding Paste – very porous, holds textural marks,
• Molding Paste – non-porous, great for sculptural effects with glazes
• Absorbent Ground – also known as “liquid watercolor paper”, and “Watercolorist’s White Out”
• Acrylic Ground for Pastels – toothy surface, great for painting or drawing
• Micaceous Iron Oxide – dark gray and slightly glittery, very gritty, great for pastel
• Glass Bead Gel – tiny beads of glass that give your painting an exotic, shimmery sheen,
• Fine Pumice Gel – toothy surface, perfect for OPEN paints,
• Fiber Paste – looks like handmade paper when dry, very absorbent, great for watercolor effects,
• Crackle Paste – beautiful and unusual cracked surface when dried.
• Coarse Pumice Gel – very absorbent, perfect for adding depth and gritty texture
Patti will provide all the paint, gels, pastes, paints, grounds and the prepared boards.
All levels and users of all media (oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, colored pencil and more) are welcome, no experience needed! All participants will receive free product samples and a literature packet, including hand-painted color charts.
Catch a sneak peak at the mediums you’ll be using in this workshop on August 22, when Golden Rep, Roy Kinzer visits for a FREE demo. Register here.
Students should bring:
– Disposable palette: a disposable wax paper palette 12×16 or white wax freezer paper (grocery store)
– Tape to tape down your wax paper palette (masking tape works)
– Brushes – a few bristle, a few soft, various sizes
– Any dry media: colored pencils, watercolor sticks, pastel, oil pastels, or graphite. Whatever you have is great – these will be used to experiment with on textured grounds
– Oil & acrylic painters can bring some paints to work with (but Patti will be bringing).
– Spritzer spray bottle for water (optional)
– Plastic/metal palette knife or equivalent
– Any objects that have an interesting design or shapes if you press them into a paste… i.e. plastic fork, round bottle tops, stencils, etc. We will press these into the pastes and gels to create interesting patterns and textures.
– Watercolorists – bring your favorite WC paper to use with QoR Watercolors (optional)
– Notebook for taking notes
– Roll of paper towels
– Empty (pizza) box to carry wet boards
– Plastic bag for your trash
– Bag lunch/something to drink (or we’ll order from the local pizzeria – they’ll deliver)
We have TONS of water containers – no need to bring.
LEARN! • EXPERIMENT! • HAVE FUN! ALL GOLDEN MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED
Presented by Author/Artist Patti Mollica, Certified Golden Paints Educator
Patti Mollica believes that truly great painting is not about the “subject matter,” but rather the way an artist communicates beauty, sensitivity and integrity in whatever is painted. Flowers, gardens and sunsets are no more worthy as painting subjects than a subway station full of weary commuters, or a closeup of an old rundown building with cascading fire escapes. She believes that a painter’s job is to show the viewer the inherent beauty of all subjects and scenes, most especially the ones that are not commonly thought of in an artistic light.
Although she is equally comfortable working in both oils and acrylics, she feels that the new developments in recent years to acrylics make them a perfect vehicle for infinite versatility and personal expression. This is explored and illustrated in depth in her book, Modern Acrylics. She has also recently authored Color Theory and Getting Started in Acrylics, available in art stores worldwide and online at Amazon.com.
