      <title>A-419 Absolute Beginners Quilting Boot Camp (SU26) (August 11, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="https://northhillsartcenter.org/resources/Pictures/Catalog%20Images/Koehler/Koehler%20Quilt%20Boot%20Camp.jpg" alt="" title="" border="3" width="198" height="200" align="left" style="margin: 8px; border-color: rgb(46, 40, 42);"&gt;Registration deadline: August 3&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Ages 16+&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style=""&gt;We will cover the entire process of making and finishing a pre-designed table topper or small wall quilt, from fabric selection through to the last stitch of the binding. If you’ve wanted to learn to quilt, or you’ve been quilting but are unsure of your skills, this is a chance to get up and running or hone those skills. Bring a sewing machine in good working order which can be left at the art center for the duration of the class. &lt;strong style=""&gt;Materials list below.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Instructor: Stacy Koehler&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Dates: Monday through Friday, 8/10 - 8/14 (5 sessions)&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials List&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span&gt;Students will be responsible for:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="line-height: 18px; margin-left: 2em;"&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;6 fabrics (1/2 yard each of 5, a full yard of one)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;A small amount of some scrap fabric, ½ yard or less&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Fabric scissors&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;A 45 mm rotary cutter (Don't buy a new one if you have another size.)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;A new blade for your rotary cutter&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;A 6 &lt;font color="#333333"&gt;x 24 inch acrylic ruler made for use with rotary cutting&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Seam ripper. If you have your great aunt Tillie’s, buy a new one&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;A spool of light to medium grey thread&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Straight pins&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;If you have a rotary cutting mat, bring it.&amp;nbsp; If not, some will be provided. Don’t put out the money for one until you know you want to keep quilting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Very Important! A sewing machine in good working order. What that means:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;blockquote style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;
  &lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;- You’ve gotten it out, set it up and have sewn on it for 10 minutes sometime in the last 6 months. You do not want to find out that it doesn’t run well when you get to class.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;- You have cleaned it and oiled it in the week before class.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;- It has a new needle and you bring extra needles to class.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;- If you have an open toes foot and a walking foot, bring them to class.&amp;nbsp; If you have feet, but don’t know what they are, bring them to class and maybe we can figure it out. The feet are nice to have, but are not required.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;- You have your machine’s manual. Bring it with you, or have a link to its on-line manual on your phone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;ul style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div style="line-height: 18px; margin-left: 2em; font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px; font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px;"&gt;We will have a zoom meeting at least 2 weeks before class to answer any questions and give you some ideas for fabrics, if you need to buy them. Do your best to come to the meeting.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="https://northhillsartcenter.org/resources/Pictures/Catalog%20Images/Koehler/Koehler%20Quilt%20Boot%20Camp.jpg" alt="" title="" border="3" width="198" height="200" align="left" style="margin: 8px; border-color: rgb(46, 40, 42);"&gt;Registration deadline: August 3&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Ages 16+&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style=""&gt;We will cover the entire process of making and finishing a pre-designed table topper or small wall quilt, from fabric selection through to the last stitch of the binding. If you’ve wanted to learn to quilt, or you’ve been quilting but are unsure of your skills, this is a chance to get up and running or hone those skills. Bring a sewing machine in good working order which can be left at the art center for the duration of the class. &lt;strong style=""&gt;Materials list below.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Instructor: Stacy Koehler&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Dates: Monday through Friday, 8/10 - 8/14 (5 sessions)&lt;br&gt;
Time: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials List&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span&gt;Students will be responsible for:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="line-height: 18px; margin-left: 2em;"&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;6 fabrics (1/2 yard each of 5, a full yard of one)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;A small amount of some scrap fabric, ½ yard or less&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Fabric scissors&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;A 45 mm rotary cutter (Don't buy a new one if you have another size.)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;A new blade for your rotary cutter&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;A 6 &lt;font color="#333333"&gt;x 24 inch acrylic ruler made for use with rotary cutting&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Seam ripper. If you have your great aunt Tillie’s, buy a new one&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;A spool of light to medium grey thread&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Straight pins&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;If you have a rotary cutting mat, bring it.&amp;nbsp; If not, some will be provided. Don’t put out the money for one until you know you want to keep quilting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Very Important! A sewing machine in good working order. What that means:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;blockquote style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;
  &lt;font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;- You’ve gotten it out, set it up and have sewn on it for 10 minutes sometime in the last 6 months. You do not want to find out that it doesn’t run well when you get to class.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;- You have cleaned it and oiled it in the week before class.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;- It has a new needle and you bring extra needles to class.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;- If you have an open toes foot and a walking foot, bring them to class.&amp;nbsp; If you have feet, but don’t know what they are, bring them to class and maybe we can figure it out. The feet are nice to have, but are not required.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;- You have your machine’s manual. Bring it with you, or have a link to its on-line manual on your phone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;ul style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div style="line-height: 18px; margin-left: 2em; font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px; font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px;"&gt;We will have a zoom meeting at least 2 weeks before class to answer any questions and give you some ideas for fabrics, if you need to buy them. Do your best to come to the meeting.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Join us for a fun, refreshing and completely judgement free class as we learn the basics of wheel throwing.

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Say goodbye to summer and hello to fall!

painting process.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;Materials list below&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font&gt;Instructor: Cheryl Templeton&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;- Two canvases of equal size. 16x20" recommended.&lt;br&gt;
- Recommended paint colors (I use Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylics): Titanium White, Burnt Umber, Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Red Medium, Cadmium Yellow Medium, and Yellow Ochre/Yellow Oxide, and Sap Green.&lt;br&gt;
- A range of brush sizes, including one quite large 1.5-2in brush for background work (like you might get at a home improvement store). I tend to use bright brushes, but flats and filberts can also come in handy. Some small round brushes for details.&lt;br&gt;
- Palette paper in grey, such as Jack Richeson Grey Matters Paper Palette&lt;br&gt;
- Small misting spray bottle to moisten paint on a palette.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Say goodbye to summer and hello to fall! Using reference photos (yours or mine), we’ll create two acrylic paintings: summer flowers and fall leaves. This class includes instruction on composition, drawing, and a step-by-step&lt;br&gt;
painting process.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;Materials list below&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font&gt;Instructor: Cheryl Templeton&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;Dates: Fridays 9/25 - 11/6 (6 sessions)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;No class 10/30&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Time: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials list&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="" color="#333333"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;- Two canvases of equal size. 16x20" recommended.&lt;br&gt;
- Recommended paint colors (I use Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylics): Titanium White, Burnt Umber, Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Red Medium, Cadmium Yellow Medium, and Yellow Ochre/Yellow Oxide, and Sap Green.&lt;br&gt;
- A range of brush sizes, including one quite large 1.5-2in brush for background work (like you might get at a home improvement store). I tend to use bright brushes, but flats and filberts can also come in handy. Some small round brushes for details.&lt;br&gt;
- Palette paper in grey, such as Jack Richeson Grey Matters Paper Palette&lt;br&gt;
- Small misting spray bottle to moisten paint on a palette.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Sashiko is a traditional Japanese needle art prized for both its functional and decorative uses. The traditional sashiko work flow makes for a relaxing stitching experience. While making a pair of coasters, you will choose a design, mark your fabric, stitch, and finish. You will then leave class with enough materials for a 2nd project on your own!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;All materials included.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Say goodbye to summer and hello to fall! Using reference photos (yours or mine), we’ll create two acrylic paintings: summer flowers and fall leaves. This class includes instruction on composition, drawing, and a step-by-step&lt;br&gt;
painting process.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;Materials list below&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font&gt;Instructor: Cheryl Templeton&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;Dates: Fridays 9/25 - 11/6 (6 sessions)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;No class 10/30&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Time: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials list&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="" color="#333333"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;- Two canvases of equal size. 16x20" recommended.&lt;br&gt;
- Recommended paint colors (I use Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylics): Titanium White, Burnt Umber, Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Red Medium, Cadmium Yellow Medium, and Yellow Ochre/Yellow Oxide, and Sap Green.&lt;br&gt;
- A range of brush sizes, including one quite large 1.5-2in brush for background work (like you might get at a home improvement store). I tend to use bright brushes, but flats and filberts can also come in handy. Some small round brushes for details.&lt;br&gt;
- Palette paper in grey, such as Jack Richeson Grey Matters Paper Palette&lt;br&gt;
- Small misting spray bottle to moisten paint on a palette.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Say goodbye to summer and hello to fall! Using reference photos (yours or mine), we’ll create two acrylic paintings: summer flowers and fall leaves. This class includes instruction on composition, drawing, and a step-by-step&lt;br&gt;
painting process.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;Materials list below&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font&gt;Instructor: Cheryl Templeton&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;Dates: Fridays 9/25 - 11/6 (6 sessions)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;No class 10/30&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Time: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials list&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="" color="#333333"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;- Two canvases of equal size. 16x20" recommended.&lt;br&gt;
- Recommended paint colors (I use Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylics): Titanium White, Burnt Umber, Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Red Medium, Cadmium Yellow Medium, and Yellow Ochre/Yellow Oxide, and Sap Green.&lt;br&gt;
- A range of brush sizes, including one quite large 1.5-2in brush for background work (like you might get at a home improvement store). I tend to use bright brushes, but flats and filberts can also come in handy. Some small round brushes for details.&lt;br&gt;
- Palette paper in grey, such as Jack Richeson Grey Matters Paper Palette&lt;br&gt;
- Small misting spray bottle to moisten paint on a palette.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;Say goodbye to summer and hello to fall! Using reference photos (yours or mine), we’ll create two acrylic paintings: summer flowers and fall leaves. This class includes instruction on composition, drawing, and a step-by-step&lt;br&gt;
painting process.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;Materials list below&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font&gt;Instructor: Cheryl Templeton&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" color="#333333"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;Dates: Fridays 9/25 - 11/6 (6 sessions)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;No class 10/30&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Time: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials list&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style="" color="#333333"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;- Two canvases of equal size. 16x20" recommended.&lt;br&gt;
- Recommended paint colors (I use Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylics): Titanium White, Burnt Umber, Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Red Medium, Cadmium Yellow Medium, and Yellow Ochre/Yellow Oxide, and Sap Green.&lt;br&gt;
- A range of brush sizes, including one quite large 1.5-2in brush for background work (like you might get at a home improvement store). I tend to use bright brushes, but flats and filberts can also come in handy. Some small round brushes for details.&lt;br&gt;
- Palette paper in grey, such as Jack Richeson Grey Matters Paper Palette&lt;br&gt;
- Small misting spray bottle to moisten paint on a palette.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

painting process.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;Materials list below&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font&gt;Instructor: Cheryl Templeton&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;- Two canvases of equal size. 16x20" recommended.&lt;br&gt;
- Recommended paint colors (I use Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylics): Titanium White, Burnt Umber, Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Red Medium, Cadmium Yellow Medium, and Yellow Ochre/Yellow Oxide, and Sap Green.&lt;br&gt;
- A range of brush sizes, including one quite large 1.5-2in brush for background work (like you might get at a home improvement store). I tend to use bright brushes, but flats and filberts can also come in handy. Some small round brushes for details.&lt;br&gt;
- Palette paper in grey, such as Jack Richeson Grey Matters Paper Palette&lt;br&gt;
- Small misting spray bottle to moisten paint on a palette.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
