2024 Saturday Painting Classes Online in Zoom
This class is guaranteed to make you smile. Be freed up and loose. Use color and shape! The only rules are to have fun and engage your creative self. I’ll guide you along and you’ll see everything I do from the overhead camera.
We mostly use acrylic paint on paper or canvas. Sometimes I use paint pens, watercolor and pen and ink. You are welcome to use anything you like. If there is a special material needed for a class, you will get an email with information.
Recordings are posted and you have one week to review the recording.
Here are the recommended materials for this class:
My preferred paint: Golden Heavy Body Essentials or Golden Fluids Set I’ve also been using the Golden Matte Acrylics a lot and I love them!
8 x 10 or 9x12 canvas, canvas panel, canvas paper or watercolor paper.
A variety of brushes. I really like this set.
A table covering.
Water container.
Paper towels.
An apron or an old shirt. If you get paint on your clothes, rinse immediately in cold water.
If you have an easel, Great! If not, you can paint flat on a table, it works great.
Sketchbook Adventures - Online (5 meetings)
Date TBA
A lot of people think of sketching as drawing. And that you have to be able to draw realistically to create a sketch. But that’s not really true. Sketching can be as simple as abstract shapes and color. You can create imaginary animals, plants and houses if you like. Sketching can include collage, lettering, stenciling, and just about anything you like. The joy of working in a sketchbook is open to everyone - even if you are intimidated by the idea of “drawing.” If you already know how to draw, you’ll have plenty of fun creating with some of the sketchbook prompts I have in store for you. So join me on Sketchbook Adventures. I promise you won’t have to learn to draw!
