    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
    painting process.

    Dates: Fridays 9/25 - 11/6 (6 sessions)

    Materials list:
    - Two canvases of equal size. 16x20" recommended.
    - 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.
    - 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.
    - Palette paper in grey, such as Jack Richeson Grey Matters Paper Palette
    - Small misting spray bottle to moisten paint on a palette.

    Create two cozy still life paintings in acrylic. We'll challenge ourselves with different textures like a shiny coffee mug versus a fuzzy blanket and practice our drawing skills using the grid method. Instructor will provide photo references but participants can also opt to use their own found images or set up and photograph their own personal objects at home! All materials included.
