Combining techniques taught in Palette Knife Painting, how to apply paint well with knives, and Color Focused Oil Painting, understanding color mixing and how colors interact, this class strives to help students become looser in their painting style with grissaille underpainting sketches, and brush and knife techniques. Compositions and sketches of the subject in 2D, from life or photography, will be broken down by the instructor and demonstrated.

  • Canvases - stretched or panels (stretched canvas is better, panels save space and travel easily). 

    8x10, 9x12, 11x14, 12x16 - All good sizes for most subjects…slower students would be well advised to work small.

     

    Oil Paint, NOT WATER BASED OIL -most brands are okay - recommended are Winsor & Newton Artists Line, and their Winton Student line.  Gamblin 1980 colors, Williamsburg, and other fine makers.  Cheap sets by Rowney and Rembrandt, etc. can be highly disappointing.

    If you are on the fence, or tight budget, sets by Marie are doable for around $20 for tiny tubes.

    Please no turpentine- its not safe for a class room setting - GAMSOL or TURPENOID only 

     

    Some people wear gloves, brush holder will keep your handles clean

     

    Gesso - and a few acrylic colors to tone your canvas.

     

    Toning Canvas

    Toned canvases will help your painting look richer and more complete.  No gesso over oil, ever, gesso on new canvases - Repaint over old oil paintings by prepping with oil paint tones to cover.

     

    Mix gesso with a small amount of water to thin, and add small amount of acrylic paint in increments, blue and brown, or just black to make a grey.  Pthalo Blue and Raw Sienna by Artists Loft acrylics from Michaels makes a nice neutral grey.  Paint over canvas and smooth by brushing over in each direction several times to reduce streaking and create an even tone.  Dries in 1 hr, overnight is ideal for drying.
