​

Achieve mastery in your painting materials! Learn how to use your paints to create any effect.  In this workshop David will share all the secrets of the Old Masters that will teach you how to use the paints to create brilliant, luminous and vibrant color effects.


In this workshop you will learn the lost principles of brilliant, luminous, color effects followed by the greatest painters for 5

centuries, from Van Eyck to Van Gogh.  Almost everything you have been taught about how to put your paintings together is surprisingly different from how these master artists constructed their work.  Moreover, with today’s superior paints and mediums, including the newer acrylics, we are able to create effects that would be the envy of all those famous artists.
Although these principles can be applied to oil paints, in this workshop the focus will be on learning the specific properties of acrylics and how you can use them to achieve fantastic results.  Emphasis will be on mastering the materials and skills to help you be a better painter.  You will learn to master the medium and effectively apply glazes, veils, and impasto layers of paint.  Painting demos will also be featured.


This workshop is designed for artists with some painting experience in oils, acrylics, or even watercolors.  Acrylic paints are relatively new and how to use them effectively is still a challenge for many artists. Techniques that are successful when using oil paints or watercolors do not often yield good results when applied to acrylic paints.  This is because the physical and chemical properties of the synthetic acrylic paints are unique.
Come prepared to take notes, ask questions, and to paint.

Supplies List for Mastering Light and Colour with David Langevin

  • Acrylic Gloss Medium (not ‘gel’), or Golden GAC 500

  • Slow drying medium:  Retarder, Golden Glazing Liquid, Tri-Art Retarder Medium

  • Dark pencil (3B-6B) or India Ink pen.

  • Large water container and rags

  • Paint brushes and palette

  • Four (4) inexpensive painting supports, approx. 16x20 (canvas or painting

  • board)-Acrylic paints, do not bring Golden Open acrylic paints.


* I recommend heavy body acrylics for opaque colors and fluid acrylics for transparent colors, and only the best quality paints.

We will be spending time on the first day discussing best practices that will help you select paints you can use to achieve superior results, so you may decide to wait to buy any extra paint until after this first segment.
