These tips, techniques and art skills will add to a student's painting practice. Additionally, students will understand color values and temperatures and to create depth and dimension in their floral garden paintings.
Supply List:
- Acrylic paints: recommended are artist or professional grade acrylics. Some of my favorite brands are Liquitex, Golden, Blick studio, Masters touch (Hobby Lobby), Artist Loft (Michaels) brand. I wouldn’t recommend using cheap craft paint for this class to get best results although if that’s what you only have, it’s okay to use for learning and practice. Recommended colors: Titanium white, Black or Payne’s grey, Cadmium red, Quinacridone red or Permanent Rose or Alizarin crimson, Cadmium yellow, Lemon Yellow, Ultramarine or Cobalt Blue, Burnt Sienna (brown), Quinacridone magenta. Optional colors: Prussian or Phthalo Blue, Viridian Green, any other favorite colors you want to bring
- Flat and round brushes for acrylic painting (synthetic or hog bristle): in variety of sizes – ¾ inch wide, #6, #8, #10, round brush (size 2 or 4 for details), or your favorite brushes
- Palette for color mixing: either wood, glass, plastic or paper plate - your preference. You can also use a palette paper pad. I use a Masterson Sta-Wet Palette
- Canvas panels or stretched canvas: two measuring 9”x12” or 11”x14”, two measuring 12”x12”, one or two measuring 12”x16”
- Water container
- Pencil and eraser
- Rags or paper towels
- Optional: Small water mist bottle (to keep paints moist on palette), Watercolor paper or pad (140lb cold pressed) 9”X12” inch in size. Some favorites are Canson/Arches/ Strathmore. These would be for practice sketch
Please treat this supply list like a recommended resource guide so please don’t feel the need to go out and buy all of the supplies on this list. This class will be just as awesome if you choose to use your favorite art materials and use whatever supplies you have on hand and can find.
