Charles Harrington shows you how he brings a small acrylic, painted on site in the Ozarks, into the studio to create a full-sized rural scene that is rich in texture, atmosphere and color.  Charles uses tube acrylics (he shares tips on how to keep them fresh) and builds his scene with gradual, controlled washes.  He demonstrates a variety of tools, some from his days as an architect, and methods for establishing depth, foliage, stone work, wood paneling, roofing, and an interesting textured foreground.  he modifies his outdoor scene to improve his design and finishes with techniques he learned as a professional illustrator.  2 hrs 15 min
