PHIL GARRETT
Phil Garrett is among his native South Carolina’s most
prominent artists and printmakers and owner of King Snake Press in Greenville,
S.C. Garrett has completed numerous
artist residences and taught painting and printmaking in venues
across the United States, including The Penland School of Craft in Penland,
N.C. He joined the Golden Acrylic Working Artists Program in 1999 and has
lectured and taught acrylic painting in the United States, Japan and Europe. Garrett’s
work is represented in the South Carolina State Art Collection, the Greenville
County (S.C.) Museum of Art and other public and private collections in Europe,
Japan and the United States.
THE WORKSHOP
The
workshop will cover how to get oil-like effects using acrylic paints, mediums
and gels, including the new OPEN paints. These paints allow for an extended
working time that can give painters much more control over blending and overall
manipulation to achieve wonderful controlled effects. The paints also can be
used in combination with existing Heavy Body and Fluid Acrylics and their
mediums, gels and additives. This provides painters a truly comprehensive
system of paints.
On
a prepared canvas or panel, workshop participants will work from a selfie taken
with your phone or tablet to make a subtractive underpainting using Open
Acrylics, complete a value underpainting in grays and go over the best paint
and gel combinations for alla prima
painting.
The
workshop will cover overpainting, blending and glazing. At the end, Garrett will
discuss how to correctly varnish the completed painting. Along the way, the
workshop will cover lots of solid techniques discussed in Garrett’s book Inside Acrylics while providing a great
time painting.
