Event Series Event Series (See All)

Thanks to our friends at Plaza for connecting us with Brandy Antonio from Liquitex for this workshop. When it comes to acrylics, Liquitex started it all in 1955. In this demonstration, attendees will be introduced to the acrylic brand that has been at the forefront of innovation for 70 years. As the #1 acrylic in the world, Liquitex is the only brand to provide the most diverse offering of professional products, including seven unique ranges of professional acrylic colors and mediums. Just imagine what you can do with the choice of color ranges from Soft Body to Heavy Body, Ink, Acrylic Gouache, Sprays, Markers and the All-New Bio-Based Heavy Acrylic.

The Liquitex mediums range offers a host of innovative possibilities to meet the aesthetic needs of every artist. This demo with Brandy Antonio is all about getting people excited about the endless possibilities of acrylic mediums so they can go right into the studio with tons of new ideas. Attendees will learn what mediums are, how they can change the inherent characteristics of acrylic color to meet each artist’s vision, and which mediums are a must-have in Brandy’s practice. Come with all of your acrylic mediums questions for an exciting demo with an incredibly fun artist/educator.

Check out Plaza’s website to purchase some mediums to explore with.
