Bonjour Sennelier Acryliques! Now available at DANIEL SMITH: Artists' Materials

Bonjour Sennelier Acryliques! Now available at DANIEL SMITH: Artists' Materials

 
Bonjour Sennelier Acrylique!
 
Sennelier, with their history and tradition of making high quality Art Materials (pastels & oils) has now made an entrance into the Acrylic Paint world with their new Sennelier Acrylique Paints.  The paints have only just been made available to the U.S. this summer, and DANIEL SMITH is one of the first to offer them in our new DANIEL SMITH 2009-2010 Reference Catalog.
 
The Sennelier Marketing for their new Acrylique shows an acrylic painting of a fanciful, luscious pink fruit “sundae” on top of a chocolate eclair with clouds of whipped cream topped with a cherry…..mmmmm.  It really helps to make the impression of how lusciously creamy their new Acrylique Paints are.  Senneliers’ goal was to emulate the creamy feel of their oil paints, which will certainly appeal to oil painters who are interested in making the switch to acrylics while still keeping the “buttery” feel of oil paint.
 
Sennelier selected their 110 Acrylique paint colors from their Sennelier oil paint colors (145 pigments) plus 4 Interference colors and 6 Iridescent colors.  DANIEL SMITH is carrying the entire 120 Acrylique paint color selection.
 
If you enjoy the tactile qualities of paint and luscious, buttery paint is what you enjoy, then Senneliers‘ new Acrylique paints, developed with strict adherence to their traditional high standards, should be given a place on your palette.

Eastside Association of Fine Arts - General Meeting with Bellevue DANIEL SMITH's Holly White-Gehrt & June Olson for a Demo on Golden's OPEN Acrylic Paint

Eastside Association of Fine Arts - General Meeting with Bellevue DANIEL SMITH's Holly White-Gehrt & June Olson for a Demo on Golden's OPEN Acrylic Paint

Today, April 16th, Holly White-Gehrt (mgr) and June Olson (asst mgr) from the Bellevue DANIEL SMITH Store are taking the Store-On-The-Road to the Eastside Association of Fine Arts (EAFA) General Meeting and Introduce Golden OPEN Acrylic Paints . 

 
Holly will talk about what makes the Golden OPEN acrylic paints a great alternative to oil paint:  their much (MUCH) longer drying time or “open” time to work with, which is also great for acrylic painters who would like more time to work with their paint too.  June will be working on a painting, demonstrating the Golden OPEN Acrylic paint qualities in action at the meeting. 
 
Of course if you are not a member of EAFA, or could not make the meeting, just drop by the Bellevue (or Seattle ) DANIEL SMITH store to get your questions answered about what makes these acrylic paints so special!
 
Thank you members of EAFA, and Holly & June!
 
 
Every Day,  Express Yourself with ART….

July 24th, 2008 categories: category, * Acrylic, * Acrylic FREE Demos, * Seattle DS Store, * Seattle FREE Demos, * Special Weekend Events

For everyone who works with GOLDEN Acrylics , Acrylic paint in general, and Oil paint may want to come to the Early Bird (9:30am) FREE demo at the Seattle DANIEL SMITH Store on the New GOLDEN OPEN Acrylics. GOLDEN’s very knowledgeable representative, Nina Deckert will be there to “Show and Tell” all about this new really cool product….there will be some FREE goodies (samples!) of this revolutionary new acrylic paint!

 

Since DANIEL SMITH will be carrying the entire line of the New OPEN Acrylics (look for them on page 42 of the new 2008-2009 Reference Catalog) Nina has been holding training sessions this week with the DANIEL SMITH store and catalog people. Nina will be offering some of the same information at this FREE demo!

What’s so new and wonderful about the new GOLDEN OPEN Acrylics? Well they have a much, much longer open time to work with. This is a totally new formula (and top secret too!) for acrylics that allows artists extended time to work with the paint…almost like an oil paint. The paint feels luscious and silky, again like an oil paint, when you apply it to your surface. The paint does not skim over as there is a humectant in the formula to attract moisture from the air helping to extend the open time. You can mix and work over the surface with blending, more like painting in oils, but with no solvents!

The new GOLDEN OPEN Acrylics clean out of brushes really well with water, and are designed to mix with GOLDEN’s Heavy Body Acrylics (and other brands including DANIEL SMITH Ultimate Acrylics ) which, depending on the amount of OPEN Acrylic mixed in will extend the working time of the mixed color. There is lots more, so come by to find out more from Nina at the Special Event this Saturday at 9:30 am! Remember there will be a cool package with 3 samples of GOLDEN OPEN Acrylic!

Thank you Nina!

Make Art Every Day You Can….

Now on view in our DANIEL SMITH Art Gallery…. Our Employee Acrylic Art Show at the Seattle DANIEL SMITH Store! Next time you visit our Store, please stop by our Gallery to see what our talented DANIEL SMITH Artist Employees have created in Acrylic Paint.

 There are lots of different techniques on display ranging from straight forward acrylic on canvas painted with brushes, to many forms of mixed media (photos, ink, pencil, Super Sculpey, Liquitex Pouring Medium , different kinds of Golden Gels , Styrofoam, even rice!) on different surfaces (Ampersand Gessobord with 2″ cradle , and other Ampersand Gessobords ). There were even a couple of paintings that used Golden Phosphorescent Green which is a glow-in-the-dark acrylic paint, and available at the DANIEL SMITH Stores.  

Most of the paintings have artist labels with titles and mediums used to help viewers know what they are looking at. You just might get an idea or two for using different art materials from seeing these.

 

The show will be up through mid July, and you are invited to come on by!
