Weekend Intensive!
Saturday & Sunday, February 7th & 8th, 3:00 - 6:00 pm
Instructor: David Caesar
We are now offering two day workshop version of our 6-week class!
Never painted before? No problem! This class will get you comfortable in the world of acrylic painting. We’ll start simple - creating a colour wheel and grey scale to get a handle on colour mixing and controlling saturation and tone. We’ll move on to copying very simple photographs - an apple, and basic landscapes. Touching on subjects such as light and shadow, atmospheric perspective and composition, our projects will get more complex as we move forward. David will be doing painting demonstrations and helping students problem-solve their way through their work. Students are welcome to bring in their own projects right from the start if they choose!
What to bring:
- Acrylic paint: titanium white, carmine, phthalo blue, primary or lemon yellow, raw sienna, ivory black or oxide black.
- Surfaces: canvas paper (the Fredrix canvas pad is best) or gessoed hardboard/masonite
- Brushes: 1" or 1 1/2" flat and 1, 2, 6 rounds.
- A disposable palette for mixing colours and a pencil and eraser for sketching.
Optional: a spray bottle for water, and a photo you would like to paint.
