Mesmerize with a Magical Glow Workshop:
How to Use Metallic & Interference Paints

This is the online version of class I have been teaching in my studio.

Registration is OPEN. You can join anytime.

You can choose to receive weekly lessons or all at once.
Your first lesson will arrive in your email box the same day you register.

There are 10 weekly lessons in this class PLUS I've added a bonus lesson on the end.

You will receive a series of videos showing:
     1. How to use these unique interference paints.
                  I'll explain & demonstrate with a color chart.
     2. I'll walk you through the steps and colors I used in "Cedar Moon."
         This isn't a demo.
     3. I will also do a step-by-step painting demo in a similar style,
                   so you can see how I develop one of my paintings using these paints.
         You can paint a similar painting
         or/and you can incorporate the colors into your own paintings.
     4. The metallic paints can be used with interference paints & regular acrylics.
         One video will explorere & use them together. You will be able to watch
         as I paint.
     5. Metallic paints offer a world of posssiblity beyond simply using them as accents.
         I'll show you at least 2 additional ways to use them.
         You are welcome to paint along
         or to paint something using similar steps/ideas
         or to incorporate the ideas into your own work. Perhaps you'll do all 3!

In my live classes, I demonstrate for about one hour, and I'm available all day.

Since this class is online...and you can watch when you want...as often as you want,

I will give you more instruction time than I am able to do in a live class.

This class contains 4 hours of video instruction/demonstration.
The camera is 3 feet from my painting as I work.
You will be able to see much more clearly than you would in any classroom.
You'll see every brushstroke. I explain each step as I do it.
I think you will understand everything as you watch...

AND...

If you have questions as you go, simply send me an email and I will answer you.

If you are able to watch videos online, you will be able to watch these.

Since they are not live/streaming, you will be able to let the video load
and when all of it is in your computer, you can watch it smoothly.
If the video doesn't play smoothly, simply stop it...allow it to load...& then play.

The videos will be available on password protected pages. They'll play on Vimeo.

You may NOT share the videos. They are for your viewing ONLY.

You will be able to watch these videos as many times as you want to watch.
You will have access for at least 6 months after you receive the last lesson.
You will not be able to download them.

These videos were made by me. They are clear. They do not include music.

No one else is teaching how to use these wonderful interference paints.

You can google my name & art or painting or any related words & find me online.
You can read my resume. You can look at my other classes.

You can read the testimonials others have given me about my classes.

My intention is to do my best to teach you how to use these paints
AND to nourish your creative spirit.
If this is what you want, I encourage you to sign up.

If you are able to watch videos on YouTube or Vimeo,
you will be able to watch the videos in this class.
Or visit my blog www.annbell.net/blog & view the videos there.
You'll have to scroll down a bit to get to them.

There are no refunds for online classes. Thank you for understanding.
If you have questions, I will be happy to answer your questions. Just email me.

If you are an artist...or an aspiring artist...this day will inspire you as it expands your skills.
These paints can give wonderful effects, unlike anything else.

But if you don't know HOW to use them, you get less impact than ordinary colors.

"Cedar Moon" ©Ann Bell 2010

When I began this painting, I worked on top of a landscape
that was bland & boring. I was tired of looking at it.
I had a marvelous time creating my Mesmerizing Masterpiece. I just LOVE it!

What do you think?

See MORE SAMPLES at bottom of page.

Cedar Moon, one of my newest painting, illustrates the captivating effects that can be created with metallic paint and inteference paint, used together,
but NOT mixed together.

The effect is mesmerizing. I will share my secrets & my techniques.

You can paint your own magical painting. 
A simple scene...from a dream or your imagination...can be your starting point.

Keep it simple and let the paint work its magic.

Once you start, you'll get so involved that you'll be in creative flow.

And you'll create your own Mesmerizing Masterpiece.

You'll be thrilled with the effects of these magical paints!

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

I have been working with the Interference paints (both Golden & Richeson brands) for several years.

They don't work the same way as ordinary paints.
If you use them in the same way, they give bland results.
You can "spectacularize" the results & make them mesmerizing IF you know how.
Learn how in THIS workshop.

You'll be surprised at what you can do. And you'll have so much fun.

"Aurora Borealis" uses several colors inteference paint.

I think this treatment lends a magical effect to the work.
