Building Work Through Glazes with Wayne Jiang (Ep.114)
Artist Wayne Jiang works in three distinct styles including one pulled directly from the studios of the Old Dutch Masters. And the reason you might find this especially surprising is because the artist works in acrylics. He takes advantage of acrylics fast drying times and extreme flexibility of the medium to create modern paintings with historical underpinnings. In the conversation, you’ll explore how to control the absorbency of your surface—and why that actually matters. You’ll discover how to match your brush to the type of acrylics you’re using, and learn a way to make color choices that support the story you’re trying to tell in your work. Plus a whole lot more. Extended Cut Bonus [Art Club]We talk finding your style, and Jiang gives great advice for how to keep subjects fresh, especially when you’ve been painting them a long time.
