Acrylic Painting
Adult Class | This class is completed
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.
