Hello artists!

Chroma, Inc. is happy to announce a new video on our website:  Bigger and Bolder Watercolors with Atelier Interactive, found at http://www.chromaonline.com/chroma/media_library/multimedia.  In this 2-part video, Chroma Teaching Artist Barry Sholder demonstrates his method of creating vibrant “watercolor” paintings using Interactive on full-sheets of watercolor paper. Bigger and Bolder painting is an Impressionistic style of painting that incorporates very wet paper surfaces and the brilliant characteristics of Interactive’s line of artist acrylics and mediums.  Materials and their use are explained, as well as simple compositional concepts that are easy to understand and executed, to produce beautifully vibrant paintings much like a watercolor…. only using acrylics. Perfect for beginners to professional artists who want to explore a new technique, Barry gives step-by-step instructions on how to achieve beautiful, transparent watercolor effects.

If you have any questions about Barry’s techniques or wish to schedule a free “Bigger and Bolder” workshop your college or art society, please contact Jennifer VonStein at jvonstein@chromaonline.com.

Thank you!

CAREER ADVISORY ROUNDTABLES

ArtTable Career Advisory Roundtables will be held in conjunction with the College Art Association at the Annual Conference on February 27, 2009 from 12:30-2:00pm in the West Hall Meeting Room 512, Level 2 of the Los Angeles Convention Center. This is a free session, and registration for the conference is not required.

Students and young professionals in Arts Administration, Museum Studies, and Art History programs are invited to participate in discussions regarding careers in the arts, hosted by ArtTable members from different spectrums of the arts community. Speakers will host a roundtable focusing on one of the following areas: Museum/ Non-Profit Directorship, Gallery, Curatorial, Art Education, Appraisal, Education, and Conservation. It is ArtTable’s hope that our roundtable program will allow students the opportunity to learn more about the variety of careers available to them in the arts.

There will be five roundtables at each of two sessions with one or two mentors per table, who will, after briefly introducing themselves, allow students to ask questions about their particular field.

Students will be asked to register in advance and to select preferred tables for both session one and session two.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions regarding this program.
