Unique 3hr Virtual Workhop: Take your painting technique to the next level!

You don't have to be an advanced artist to take this class but some painting experience would be helpful. If you've done a couple of Paint Nites before, you should be good to go=)

The workshop is going to be recorded and will be available for viewing for a month afterwards.  Please disregard the "non-recorded" message above.   

During the workshop, we will go over the following:

• How to approach conifers at different levels of resolution: Cones and branch close ups; Trunks and bark; Full tree.
• How are different conifer types different from one another and from deciduous trees? How to make them unique? We'll specifically go over pines and spruces and we'll touch upon a few others.
• How to give them character?

We will be doing several small studies to practice the above principles.

You will need YOUR OWN SUPPLIES for Virtual Events. You can get them easily from your local art/craft store: 

• A canvas pad OR a  pad of HEAVY (!) paper (at least 300 gsm/140 lbs, i.e. cardboard weight: either mixed-media, printing, bristol or cheap watercolor paper), either 9"x12", 11"x14" or similar size. If you have cheap canvases (or if they are easier to find), you can use those instead. We'll need ~5-7 sheets or canvases. If your canvases are large (16x20 or larger) you'll need 2-3.
• Acrylic paint ( white, black, red, yellow and blue + optional brown (burnt umber or similar))
• A paper plate (or a piece of plastic/cardboard)
• A water cup
• A variety of brushes ( I recommend a large flat brush , a medium square brush (a "bright"), a fan brush and a small detail brush)
• Paper towels

You will also need to install ZOOM prior to the event. You will get a one time link to access the event. The workshop is ~3 hours and you will be able to log on ~ 10-15 minutes before the start time.

I look forward to painting with you!
