NEW TECHNIQUES* The first 3 sessions create a foundational painting with acrylics. The last 2 session introduces oil painting to assist in popping colour and creating more depth with luminosity to your artwork. This is a great opportunity to learn the basics of oil and utilize these techniques to enhance any previous acrylic artwork.  Each week is recorded for students to review.

  • Canvas a long landscape orientation. If you have a spot for it in mind consider the dimensions of the wall space. You can always orientate your canvas to a different size as the application is relevant for all canvases. Examples of size: 12x24, 16x40 (this is quite large)
  • A table top easel
  • A Variety of Synthetic Brushes: flat brushes  either 1/2 inch width or smaller, round brush with fine tip for any details, blending brushes, liner, Rigger Brush for very fine detailing
  • Water Glass
  • Rag for cleaning brushes in between coats
  • Hair Dryer is handy (in case you need to speed up drying time)
  • A palette for your paints or Palette Sheets with a plastic white plate works well
