An introductory demonstration followed by hands-on painting under the guidance of a painter with 35+ years of experience working with acrylic paints. There will be discussion and instruction on a variety of acrylic mediums. Get lots of practical tips as you explore a variety of techniques.
If the weather cooperates, we will paint the outdoor landscape. If not, we will work indoors and you will need reference photos.
Materials list: If you don’t already have acrylic paints, I suggest getting Blick Studio Acrylics in a set of 12 assorted colors (21 ml tubes). Colors include one each of Titanium White, Ivory Black, Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna, Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Orange Hue, Primary Yellow, Dioxazine Purple, Green Light Permanent, Primary Blue, Phthalo Green, and Primary Red. Use synthetic brushes when working with acrylic paints. I suggest Blick Essentials Brown Nylon in a set of 12. This includes rounds numbered 1 – 9, and 3/8”, ½”, and ¾” flats. Bring a stretched canvas or canvas panel to paint on, no smaller than 9”x12” and no bigger than 16”x20.” 2oz. dropper bottle. I suggest plastic, but glass is fine also. 16oz. plastic spray bottle. 2” chip brush. Portable easel. (Art of the Lakes has a few.) Water container. I like to use an empty ice cream bucket. If you have an acrylic palette, great. Otherwise we will provide Styrofoam divider plates.
