Resources
MANUFACTURERS want you to use their wares, so they are generous with information, including videos. I mostly use Golden, because of their outstanding quality and customer service. They do product development in-house, which appeals to the scientist in me.

http://www.danielsmith.com/Category--Acrylic--m-777 I was disappointed to learn that the company had changed hands. We'll see....
The manufacturers' sites have videos on how to use their products; in addition, you may find independent artists demonstrating them on YouTube.
YOUTUBE VIDEOS will lead you right down the rabbit hole. They have recently made changes to the site, and not for the better. I'll do my best to get you started. More and better links are in the works.

The New AcrylicsAdd text
- The New Acrylics
- Were Leonardo da Vinci alive today, he would be up to his elbows in the new acrylic paints. Advances in polymer chemistry now allow the artist to achieve the depth and luminosity of oil paints but without their extended drying time, problematic solvents—and rules. Portraiture, plein air, action painting, watercolor, impasto, transparent pours and glazes, and just about anything else an artist could desire are all possible in the new acrylic universe. Join us in exploring and exploiting this magical medium. Students will leave with paintings, sample boards, and confidence. No previous painting experience or drawing skills are necessary. All tools and materials will be furnished.
Please note: There will be a $25 fee for supplies. Please bring exact change to the first class. - Instructor
- PAT SCHEIBLE, a reformed molecular biologist, has taught several studio art courses at OLLI. In addition to running her own decorative painting business, Painting Specialities.

MY APOLOGIES for the pop-ups and the northern lights video----I have a lot to learn! - Information for Students
- Students will be doing hands-on painting so should dress appropriately; painting can be messy at times.
I will furnish you with some essential handouts, but there is a tremendous wealth of information on the web. Here are some links to get you started:
