DVD37. Mixed Media - Collage - Acrylics: Textures, Layers and Metallics. DVD. 2008. 115 min. $32.95
This instructional DVD for beginning and intermediate collage artists covers both techniques and composition. Jacqueline demonstrates her intricate, many layered painting and then gives you instruction on the proper way to layer tissue, cheesecloth and aluminum and which acrylic medium to use for each texture. There are now a wide range of acrylic mediums and Jacqueline clearly explains the differences. The viewer is instructed on how to refine these techniques, document them, and utilize them within the context of sound composition. The challenge is always to create and refine. She explains why and how she makes adjustments for a superior composition. With this art instruction video you will learn to be artistically courageous - to find your own unique style and techniques. She opens up the unlimited possibilities of collage.

B2054. Arteffects / Green
Arteffects. By Jean Green. 1993. 208pp. 8.25"x11". Paper.
A visual sampler, including step-by-step demonstrations, for experimenting with inks, watercolor, acrylics, oils, pastels, and unusual materials to achieve hundreds of different effects to use in your paintings. ArtEffects is divided into five sections that cover the most-used painting mediums: inks, watercolor, acrylics, oils, and pastels. Each section begins with a general discussion of the specific medium's unique properties, physical makeup, and methods of application, followed by a list of various materials that can be used in combination with the medium. This is followed by a display of examples (some with step-by-step demonstration) of the almost limitless textures and effects you can achieve by combining one medium with another, or with the myriad papers and art-related products on the market today, as well as with household and other unexpected materials such as cornstarch, string, and plastic wrap. Here, you can easily find out how a specific medium will perform in combination with, for example, sand, gold gouache, or acrylic modeling paste, and how that medium can be used in airbrush, stenciling, and monoprinting techniques.
