This class will explore the use of creation through a monochromatic color scheme. Monochromatic is the use of one color and adding white to the color to create tints and adding grey or black to the color to create tones and shades. Using this monochromatic color scheme, we’ll create landscapes. Each week a new landscape painting will be achieved using one color through different artistic styles: graphic, realism, and impressionism.

  • This class is VIRTUAL. Students will be emailed a link to join the class live prior to its start.
  • Canvas sizes: six 8 x 10 and/or 9 x12.
  • High gloss varnish—Liquitex brand is a good one.
  • Acrylic paints—I love Golden brand—I would use high flow or heavy body Golden acrylics. You can also use Liquitex Basic Acrylics or other brands.
  • Paint Colors: white, black and three other colors. I would purchase a larger bottle of white paint--you don’t have to purchase Golden brand--Artist’s Loft brand is fine. The three other colors to purchase is your choice: green, blue, purple, red, yellow, or orange. I would be more particular about your brand choice with those three colors. The brand does make a difference (Golden, Liquitex, Daler & Rowney, Grumbacher, Atelier, etc.)
  • Painter’s tape. You can purchase this at Home Depot or Lowe’s.
  • You can paint with your fingers or use brushes. I would recommend for brushes: flat, round, filbert, angle and fan. Brush sizes: size 14 or larger flat, size 10 or 11 round, size 7 filbert, size 10 angle, and size 5 fan. It’s okay if you cannot find exact sizes of the brushes—something close is fine.
  • Palette: You can use anything you like, such as another canvas, palette, a plastic lid, etc. You will need storage containers for paints you mix. I usually use recycled plastic containers for my paints.
  • Water container, paper towels or a towel to clean brushes and use to manipulate paint. If you don’t want to get paint on you, you may want to use gloves.
