Water-soluble Oils Over Acrylic Underpainting
Saturday, November 22, 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
$70+$15 supply fee = $85
Experience the best of both worlds by layering oils over an acrylic underpainting. Block in color and composition with acrylics and then add rich color and depth with oils. Try oils with cold wax, or if you want less toxicity try water soluble oils. Bring an acrylic painting project and experiment with an oil paint layer. Or just come and play on mini art boards that the artist will provide.

Based in the Pacific Northwest, I began my professional life as a graphic artist, after studying art and dance at the University of Oregon in the 1970s. I later pursued a master’s degrees in Exercise Science and Psychology, with minors in art and dance. A significant health challenge shifted my path from aspiring art and dance therapist to electronic publishing. In 2015, my book Dark Side of the Mood, a memoir of this period, was published. At 68, the loss of my husband catalyzed a profound immersion into painting and mixed media, marking the true beginning of my studio practice. For the past two years, I’ve dedicated myself to figurative painting, leading to my current Artist in Residence at The HIVE in Spokane, Washington. I’m presently preparing for a solo exhibition at the Spokane Art School, where I’ve also have the pleasure of teaching workshops. My purpose for the future is clear: to create art that “shows, not tells,” our shared human need for connection. “Unity in diversity” is the core principle that unites my work, celebrating how our common needs, and unique differences, create a richly textured world.
