Description
The painting style of any subject is what makes each artist and painting unique. Students will learn about a variety of painting styles while practicing techniques in acrylic painting. We will review color mixing, composition, under painting and paint application techniques. Students will work to develop a personal painting style to interpret in an original acrylic landscape or still life painting. The class will combine teacher demonstration with work time devoted to individual instruction.
Supply List- One canvas or canvas board (size range from 8 by 10 to 9 by 12 inches),
Acrylic paint in small size tubes (Basic colors – Titanium White, Yellow Azo, Naphthol Red, Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Siena) or any set of yellow, blue, red, white and brown acrylic paints you may own already, disposable palette paper or white paper plates, acrylic artist brushes (small round size 2 and 3 flats in size range of 2, 4, 6), landscape photos or still life objects, a cup for water and paper towels. These are suggested supplies to get started. If you already own a set of acrylic paints and brushes please use what you already have at home.
