Blending & Glazing with Acrylics

Dale Olsen will demonstrate how he achieves oil-like effects using acrylic paints. He will do a painting demo and will utilize completed paintings to explain his techniques. Dale got his start in the art world, at the age of 4, by using a red crayon on the black and white wallpaper in his home.  His parents, while not exactly appreciative, fostered and encouraged the talent they sensed in him. He acknowledges he has switched to more appropriate surfaces for his work! He is intrigued by edges, where water meets land, where snow meets the treeline, where shadows meet sunlight. He seeks to give the viewer a sense of peace and a sense of majesty, sometimes in a broad landscape or in the petal of a flower.
