Atelier Interactive Professional Artists' Acrylics offer a
truly unique and different acrylic formulation.  In 2003, by rethinking
the typical acrylic formulation methods, Jim Cobb - Artist, Educator and
Paintmaker - designed an acrylic paint so revolutionary it now has a patent
pending.
 
With Atelier Interactive Professional Artists' Acrylics, the
artist controls the open time.  Work can be done wet-in-wet by adding more
moisture with a fine mist spray.  Work can be done wet-over-dry by simply
not adding moisture.  One acrylic paint offers it all . . . .
the benefit of a longer open time, and the convenience of rapid
drying!
 
You can experience Atelier Interactive yourself and discover
how it can transform your painting process.  Be inspired by the ability to
double your techniques!
 
A Chroma artist will introduce the product, speak to its features and
benefits, and then get the attendees to begin painting. The Chroma artist
facilitating the event will be available for questions and comment. This event
is designed to be interactive and fun - giving us the opportunity to introduce
the product and get people excited. Support materials include presentation
boards and printed collateral. Chroma will supply the paint and mediums
necessary. The attendees will supply their own surfaces, brushes, and
associated materials.
