Join our acrylic painting class and unleash your creativity! This class is perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike. You’ll learn essential techniques, such as color mixing, brushwork, and layering, while creating your own vibrant masterpiece. Our step-by-step instruction ensures a fun and supportive environment where you can explore your artistic potential. Bring your own acrylic paints and brushes and enjoy a relaxing, inspiring experience.
Materials you must bring to class:
- Acrylic Paints: A basic set of primary colors (red, blue, yellow), plus black and white. You may expand with secondary colors (green, orange, purple) and some earth tones (brown, sienna).
- Brushes: A variety of brush sizes and shapes, including flat, round, and detail brushes. Synthetic brushes are suitable for acrylics.
- Palette: A palette for mixing your paints. A plastic or glass palette is ideal, but a disposable paper palette also works.
- Canvas or Painting Surface: Stretched canvas, canvas boards, or canvas paper. For beginners, canvas boards or paper are usually more economical.
- Palette Knife: For mixing paints and creating texture on your painting.
- Water Container: A container for rinsing your brushes.
- Cloths/Paper Towels: For cleaning brushes and wiping up spills.
- Apron/Old Clothes: Acrylic paint can be hard to remove from fabric once dry, so wear something you don’t mind getting messy.
- Spray Bottle: To keep your paints moist on the palette.
- Pencil and Eraser: For sketching your initial design on the canvas.
- Storage Box/Bag: To keep all your supplies organized and easy to transport.
Optional materials:
- Easel: A tabletop easel if you prefer to paint at an angle, though this is optional and depends on your comfort.
- Mixing Mediums: Optional, but you might want to have some acrylic mediums like gloss medium, matte medium, or modeling paste to experiment with different textures and finishes.
