CHARLES HARRINGTON AWS, ISAP, NOAPS, NSPCA

ACRYLIC LANDSCAPES
All Levels

In this workshop Charles emphasizes the advantages of painting with acrylics as an alternative to more traditional media such as watercolor and oils. The techniques participants will learn in this workshop can result in finished paintings that are indistinguishable from watercolor, oils, or most likely a harmonious combination of transparent, translucent and opaque applications possible only with acrylics. This versatility will convince participants that acrylics are both attractive and practical as a painting medium that can be applied to a variety of surfaces, including paper, canvas and gesso-primed panels.

Theory and design issues will be discussed in context with ongoing painting activities.

Charles is a retired University professor. The diversity of his education and professional experience has given him a unique and perhaps unconventional perspective on the world of fine art. Educated in both art and architecture, he taught in both disciplines for 25 years before focusing full time on his own studio work, conducting painting workshops, and writing.

He is currently a signature member of the American Watercolor Society, the International Society of Acrylic Painters, the National Oil and Acrylic Painter's Society, and the National Society of Painters in Casein and Acrylic. His paintings may be seen in these venues and in galleries identified on his website, charlesharrington.com.

His first book, "Acrylics: The Watercolor Alternative", was released by North Light Books, August 2005.
