Nathalie Kalbach | Runtime (110 min)

Learn 17 techniques for painting and staining on raw, unprimed canvas in Acrylic Painting Workshop: Raw Canvas Staining with Nathalie Kalbach. Nathalie will first guide you through mixing the medium you need for working on raw canvas, and then she’ll show you how to pour and paint the canvas for abstract effects. Then you’ll move on to creating more representational images using stencils and stamps. After a lesson in creating two types of batik style effects using crayon wax and encaustic wax, Nathalie and student Kristy Conlin, will put several techniques together while giving you ample ideas for future projects. Think tote bags, aprons, pillow, journal covers and more!
