Wayne Jiang – Introduction to Glazing and Layering in Acrylic (Recording)

Date recorded: Sunday, April 12, 2026

Level: All levels welcome

Medium: Acrylic

Presentation Type: Demo/talk

Welcome to the wonderful world of acrylic layering! Because acrylic dries fast, it’s the perfect medium to do multiple layers and glazes in a short period of time. In this demo Wayne will:

  • Explain the concept of different acrylic layering techniques–the steps and when to use them;
  • Create a painting with vibrant yet subtle colors using one of his acrylic layering and glazing techniques;
  • Apply color glazes to harmonize colors on an existing painting.

Register once to access all events. Your Festival Pass includes Zoom links to the full schedule plus access to recordings, so you can revisit sessions or watch anything you miss.

Free!

Wayne Jiang is a Portland-based realist acrylic painter. Combining the aesthetic of 17th century Baroque paintings and the composition of modern documentary photography, his works have been described as the contemporary interpretations of Vermeer and Hopper. His work has been widely exhibited in museums and galleries such as the Morris Graves Museum of Art, Triton Museum, Crocker Museum, Lan Su Chinese Garden, History San José, and Guardino Gallery.As an art educator, Wayne specializes in teaching acrylic both in person and online. He has 3 decades of experience working with acrylic and 13 years teaching the medium. His students are artists with diverse skill levels: from someone who has never painted to professional artists who want to refine their acrylic technique or learn a new medium. Wayne’s deep interest in art history is incorporated in both his paintings and how he teaches.
