Colleen Barry & the Academic Approach

Colleen Barry has a show coming up at The Academy Arts Council in Bryn Athyn, PA. The reception is from 2-5 PM on Sunday March 14. The purpose of the exhibition is to shed light on the classical education that she has received over the last four years at the Harlem Studio School of Art, Water Street Atelier and the Grand Central Academy. Colleen will be giving informal talks to the students about traditional painting and drawing techniques and how the classical tradition is thriving in the 21st century.
Colleen will be teaching the summer intensive workshop at GCA (May 31 - June 25) along with Jacob Collins, Will St. John, and Angela Cunningham.

I was wondering how Colleen tints her paper. Is it with graphite particles and shellac or maybe ink? Thanks, and I understand if its a trade secret.

Hi there,

This is a question for the webmaster/admin here at grandcentralacademy.blogspot.com.

Can I use part of the information from this blog post above if I provide a backlink back to this site?

Thanks,
Peter

Peter- that would be fine, as long as you give a link to our blog and give credit to the artists
