6-Week Session Dates

Thursday, January 30  |  February, 6, 13, 20, 27  |  March 6
Classes will take place at Barrel 118 (unless otherwise noted) from 11:30 – 2:00 pm. 

We are going to paint the sweetest little still life this week. It’s a simple composition, but it packs a punch. We will have a still life setup in the art room, so please remember to bring a device that can capture some images.

I will be painting on an 8X10 canvas panel and using oils as my medium.
Your palette should include: Ultramarine Blue, Phthalo Blue ( I will share if you don’t have), Yellow Ochre, Raw Sienna, Cad Yellow Medium, White and Black. (Optional Lemon Yellow Hue)
For oils, you should have Gamsol in a sealed container.
Brushes, Paper towels, palette or palette paper, and a water container if using acrylics.

This is the painting I did today in preparation. I just knew I wanted a gold bamboo frame. I picked this one up at Hobby Lobby for $6.50. It’s an 8×10.

THURSDAY, MAY 23  |  Cost $50  |  11:30 – 2 pm

Our theme for this class will be “The Unapologetic Palette!” What better way to close out the session than with a pet portrait of our sweet animal buddies?

We will be working on a 12×12″ canvas in acrylics. Instead of a paint list, just bring your “fun” colors + Titanium White and Permanent Black. I am going to include the instructions for block poster printing at the end of the email. I will bring graphite paper for transferring. Your reference template will be appx 11×11″.

“There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile,

He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;

He bought a crooked cat which caught a crooked mouse,

And they all lived together in a little crooked house.”
