Tonalism - Julian Alden Weir

Julian Alden Weir (1852-1919) was a master at depicting the everyday environment around us.  He was a Tonalist who used impressionism for his technique.  The tonalist style emphasizes atmosphere and shadow.  Tonalist paintings are usually a visual delight just inviting you to wander around, enjoying everything equally.  There isn't always an apparent are of interest, as the tones are very similar.

My students know that I like them to have a complete understanding of using all the tonal values. In this style of painting, the artist only uses the middle values of each color.  The secret to the success of this type of work is capturing the emotion of the piece and using light and shadow to create a beautiful dance.

These works of art are usually created with muted colors of browns, yellows, greens and soft blues.  I recommend trying one of these paintings, you just may find a new style that you love to paint!

Golden Open Acrylics

Golden Open Acrylics

Although I primarily use Golden Heavy Body acrylics for my acrylic paintings, I also enjoy Golden Open Acrylics. The open acrylic drying time is longer than regular acrylics, allowing a generous amount of time to blend. The difference in using this paint rather than the regular acrylics, is that once you apply it, and have finished blending, you need to let it completely dry before going back into it, if you want to change anything. As it begins to 'set up', it gets tacky and further blending at this stage does not work. I am actually working on a painting right now and I'm using this paint. I'll post the results in a day or so. - Jill


"GOLDEN OPEN Acrylics are a slow-drying formulation with a slightly softer consistency than GOLDEN Heavy Body paints. The increased working time of these colors expands their range to include more traditional techniques that was once only possible with oils."
