Ages 18+

This class will cover basics in a supportive environment. We’ll go over topics like brush handling, color mixing, selecting reference photos or objects, composition, and a reasonable step-by-step approach to painting. We will work through projects together from photo references the instructor provides. All levels welcome! Topics will be adjusted to meet student needs. Materials list below.

Instructor: Cheryl Templeton

Dates: Fridays 4/10 - 5/15 (6 sessions)

Time: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

MATERIALS LIST:

I will have some supplies for students to try out during class, including many brushes, palette paper, a mister, additional paint colors, and painting mediums.

Your reference photos! I will send more information on choosing reference photos.

Burnt Umber

Acrylic glazing medium and slow-dry medium.

A range of brush sizes, including one quite large 1.5"-2" 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.

Small misting spray bottle to moisten paint on a palette.
