Advanced Acrylic Painting for Beginners
This class is for the beginner acrylic artist who wants to move beyond paint party painting, who wants to challenge themself, and who wants to build a foundation of skill rather than one of bad habits that will be hard to break later. Because this is an advanced learning class, it may not be suitable for kids under 16.
​
We will cover:
-
Paint management
-
Brush control and mark-making
-
Basic color theory
-
Limited palettes
-
Mediums
-
Value painting
-
Creating visual color blends through layering and glazing
-
Developing your own painting process
-
and more!
​
Materials to Bring With You:
-
​Please bring whatever paints and brushes you typically use. Don't worry about having specific colors or types/brands of paint. If you're missing something we need for class, though, you will be able to use mine. I will also have my entire line of paint brushes available for 20% off to all of my students.
-
I highly, HIGHLY recommend you get and bring Liquitex Fluid Matte Medium (not gel medium!). It may seem superfluous now, but I promise that it's my secret weapon and we will rely on it heavily.
-
A wet palette if you use one. I will explain wet palettes in class and when you would and wouldn't necessarily need one.
-
I may or may not have standing easels available to me. If you are physically capable, I recommend standing to paint. To be on the safe side, please bring a standing easel if possible.
Materials I Will Provide (You’re welcome to bring your own, but feel free to use mine):
-
12x16-inch canvas board
-
Sketch paper
-
Pencils – Graphite, colored, and charcoal
-
Water jars
-
Glass and paper palettes
-
I will have as many easels (tabletop and otherwise) available as I can, but I may not have enough for the whole class. If you don't have one at all, that's fine! We'll discuss the best kinds of easels for your needs in class.
​
I have two dates available for this class. If the one you want is filled up, please let me know. I will add additional dates soon.
Space is super limited, so register early to ensure your spot!
​
Color Theory Workshop
This class is for artists of any medium to want to expand their knowledge of color and color theory. Because this is a lecture-style theory​ class, it may not be suitable for kids under 16.
​
We will cover:
-
What is color?
-
The color wheel
-
Color theory terms
-
Color mixing and matching
-
Chromatic black vs black
-
Creating space, shadow, light, and vibration with color
-
The value of using a limited color palette
-
and more!
​
Materials to Bring With You:
-
​This will mostly be a lecture-style workshop, though we will have some hands-on demonstrations as well. Because of this, please bring a pen and something to take notes on. I will also have handouts for you! Paints and brushes will not be necessary.
​
I hope to offer this class monthly, so if you miss it this month, check back next!
