Color on Metal: Alternative Approaches
This demo focused virtual workshop will explore the use of gesso and colored pencils on metal as a method for applying color onto metal. Acrylic gesso is ready-to-use liquid-grounds formulated for the use with acrylic paints and other media on any commonly used painting surface, including metal. Gesso provides a "tooth" that promotes the adhesion of your choice of medium including colored pencils and other drawing media. Numerous examples will ignite your imagination for adding color into and onto your metal work! The possibilities are endless!
