Do you have a bit of background in drawing and/or painting, but want to move beyond your current level? This class will help. We’ll cover various approaches to developing compositions, become more aware of tonal values and make color a friend. We’ll employ a host of technical tips, as well as allow time for critiques.

  • Suggested starting supply list:
  • 3 9”x12” canvas boards;
  • 3 9”x12” pre-stretched and primed canvases;
  • A small set of “flat” or “bright” brushes:
  • 1/4 inch flat brush, with short bristles;
  • 1/2 inch flat, with normal-lengthed bristles;
  • 3/4 to 1 inch flat brush, with normal-length bristles
  • (Note that the smallest brush has a squarish, stubby shape. It is ideal for drawing in shapes.)
  • Titanium White and Ivory Black tubes of acrylic paint. Economy brands are fine to begin with.
  • Some students may already have a selection of colors; the instructor will discuss suggestions for a more expanded color palette after the first class.
  • A pad of disposable palette paper;
  • Rags;
  • A small container of water.
