SHARON LYNN WILLIAMS – fluid acrylics
Sharon will use a developed value study as a reference for her painting in fluid acrylics.  She will then develop a colour scheme to work to further remove her from her photo reference.  The painting will begin using the acrylics just as though they were watercolours, on watercolour paper. Later she will add translucent and opaque passages to maximize the feeling of transparency in the painting.  Painters in all mediums will get something from this approach.
