THE QUALITIES, DIFFERENCES AND SIMILARITIES (Suggested for Stage Three; Learning)

For this Master Class, we are honored to be visited by Pierre Guidetti and Andrew Cook of Savoir-Faire, a company that imports the finest art materials for some of today’s leading artists. Pierre gives us a historical background on the oil and acrylic paints made by Sennelier, and Andrew dives into the similarities, differences and aspects of both oil and acrylic paint.

In this Master Class you will learn:

• How new pigments were discovered and invented, some specifically for the Impressionists in the 19th century.

• Different paint manufacturers can make different versions of the same color. For example Ultramarine Blue might be vary from one manufacturer to another.

• The toxicity of oils isn’t necessarily about the paint, but the solvents used with them

• The archival qualities, lightfastness, and intensities of oil and acrylic paint is virtually the same; the only difference is the perception
