March Paint Night

Thank you for registering!  
In this class, not only will you learn how to paint a sunflower but I will teach you how to create a sky that is gradated from dark to light.  At the beginning of the class, you will practice drawing  the basic shapes of sunflower petals.  There is also a lot of colour mixing involved to get the oranges, browns and greens we will be needing.  Rarely do we use paint straight out of the tubes!  

Canvas boards 11 x 14    Found at Michaels in packs of 5
Palette    Use your own or use a styrofoam plate or sheet of glass.  My preference is wet blue shop paper towel on a tray or cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.  It keeps the paint moist for an entire day.  
Acrylic Paints - use what you have or get the best you can afford.  Do not use craft paint.  Liquitex basics are good to start with.  My students use Tri-Art Paints which are artist grade and available at Inglewood Art Supplies.  
Paint colours - Phthalo blue, cadmium yellow, a cool red and titanium white
Brushes - Simply Simmons are student grade brushes that I still use.  #12- Large brush  and #4 and #2 flat
Paper Towels and a container for hot water
Hair Dryer
​Piece of white chalk or pencil or pastel pencil
