| You can do it! Come and paint with
us and have some fun! Bring a photograph of something you want to paint. Photos of still life, land, sea, animal, or anything that piques your interest. We will learn painting techniques, and study how to really-see your subject matter. You can always learn something new and enjoy developing the artist inside you. Students will transfer photographs onto canvas using a simple grid. No drawing skills needed. Supply List: Paint brushes (any and all sizes) Sizes (0-12+) (choose some small, as
well as, larger brushes.) (Rounds, flats, glaze/wash brushes, liners,
sponges, bristle brushes of synthetic fiber and/or natural hair (sable)
Note: Bristle brushes work very well for this type of work. A variety
in size and shape of brushes will create a more interesting painting.
Also recommend one 1"1/2" or 2" angle (Looks like a brush
for trim work) House paintbrush ok. Fan brush. (good for hair or grass)
Palette knife. Large Tupperware container with lid (to use as your paint palette) Roll of paper towels and newspapers, Pencils and paper, Kneaded eraser, Spray bottle (for water) Hair Spray bottle with fine mist, works very well. (To spray your paint so it doesn't dry out too fast.) Portable easel if you have one. (If not, we have a few on hand or we'll improvise!) Your source photograph should be in focus and high quality. Scan your
image and print it in a high resolution to give you the best detail from
your computer. Enlarge your Photograph Remember, "You Can Do It!" |
