    VIRTUAL CLASSES

    In the midst of our current healthcare crisis, I have cancelled all of my classes. In the interest of helping my students continue their practice, as well as giving others the opportunity to learn and create during their extended solitude, I will be posting various types of online content here. I am new to this format, so bear with me. Hopefully I get over the digital learning curve quickly, and you get some inspiration, knowledge, and entertainment from what I post.

    NEW!

    Suggested Supplies

    CarbonPaper

    Recommended Beginning Acrylic Supplies

    See this list on Amazon

    This basic kit is perfect for beginning your journey in Acrylic painting. These colors have been chosen to give you the most flexiblity while keeping costs down. While most artist quality paint brands are suitable for use, please avoid using bottles of craft paint. The quality is very poor, the amount of pigment is extremely low, the viscosity is wrong for canvas painting, and the color names don't relate to artist paints, making it hard to learn color mixing. That said, the most important thing is to get your brush dirty! So, if you are unable to get the basic paint colors, we can use what you do have.

    Titanium White

    Process Magenta

    Cadmium Yellow Lt.

    Thalo Blue

    Synthetic Brush Set

    Graphite Paper

    9x12 Canvas Board

    Supplemental Acrylic Colors

    See this list on Amazon

    As you continue to paint, you will find your awareness of colors is enhanced and your ability to mix colors improves. As that happens, you will find yourself wanting to use a cool and a warm in each hue. At that point, you can introduce the warm blue of Ultramarine and the cool red of Cadmium. Dioxazine Purple is a fun and electric purple, and the earth pigments are always a useful addition to your mixing palette.

    Ultramarine Blue

    Cadmium Red Lt.

    Dioxazine Purple

    Burnt Sienna

    Burnt Umber
