Finishing Techniques for Acrylic Paintings
About This Experience
Join Sandy Terry for a demonstration of professional finishings for acrylic paintings. Participants will learn how to wire their paintings according to FCA standards using D rings and coated wire, along with tips for testing isolation coats and varnishes on small canvases.

Sandy will cover the purpose of isolation coats, the products and brushes she recommends, and demonstrate the varnishing process. Attendees will also receive tips and tricks for future restorations and, if time permits, hear interesting restoration stories. Don’t miss this chance to gain confident finishing skills!

​TANGO, 30 x 48”, is the newest piece that is on display for Gallery 8’s 16th Annual Christmas Exhibition of Small Works. 30 x 48” is a small work for me! The movement and colours in this piece reminds me of a firey tango, hence the title!
The Opening was held on November 29th, 5 - 8 pm and it was fabulous! Beautiful pieces curated throughout, finger food and wine was flowing at this well attended event.
The show will continue until December 31st. ​

Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, PAINT IN!
Saturday, July 20, 2024 from 11 until 4 pm!

I will be participating in the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Paint In, held Saturday, July 20th from 11 until 4 pm! This will be my 10th year as an artist in this amazing street party vibe event. For all art appreciators it is the Island event of the year, attracting over 30,000 people as they leisurely stroll down Moss Street taking in the variety of art created by over 160 artists. At the gallery you can hear music on the stage and there is a beer garden from 11-6 pm.

You will be able to see my newest piece, ’Blushing Roses’, before it heads to Peninsula Gallery. You will also be able to see a work in progress, a commissioned piece, that is 28 x 70” and ask questions regarding my process.

I will be located this year at 122 Moss Street, booth #70, between May and Faithful Street.
Do stop by and say Hello if you are attending!

About This Experience
Sandy Terry loves to capture movement and light in her work and nuanced colours observed in natural settings. She will use a stay-wet palette to build layers of acrylic pigment using opaque and transparent colours to create large, bold and dramatic 3-D-like florals. Her use of a self-taught scumbling-like brush technique helps to soften edges and blend colours.
