MTAS Monthly Meeting Tuesday 11th November & Acrylics Demonstration


Demonstration of New Acrylic Products 
11th of November



On November 11th, there will be a hands on demonstration of exciting new acrylic paints and mediums. 
Showing how they can be used alone or in mixed media works.

Those attending the night will be invited to try them out and experiment. The newly developed acrylic paints have qualities that artists have been wishing for such as thick buttery texture and no colour shift! Used with texture mediums, collage and other mixed media, exotic rich surfaces can be created. Subtle delicate results can also be achieved. 

This is a chance to try out these new materials and discover the possibilities of these modern developments in artists quality paints.

Acrylic paints have opened the door to many new ways artists can express their creative vision.
Both Members and Non Members are welcome to join us for our meetings to view an inspirational artist at work each month, as well as the opportunity to enjoy networking with like-minded art enthusiasts.
