Dawson Creek Acrylic Painting with Andrea Morris

A study in rocks and moving water

Saturday, March 28 from 11AM-2PM at the Center

Class Fee: $100

Workshop Description:    

Have you been playing around with acrylics for a while and want to take your painting skills to the next level?  This is the class for you.

Andrea will teach you different techniques to get greater results in painting, rocks, mountains, animals, people, cityscapes, ocean scenes, still life, and how to develop your own authentic style to painting your subjects.  Each month we will cover a different subject and learn how to paint with more detail but in a loose style.

Andrea will encourage you to experiment with color and brush work and challenge you to create art that is true to you.

Material List: (Students need to bring and prepare the following items)

1. 11×14 canvas toned with a light layer of Burnt Sienna
2. Brushes – any range of sizes from small to medium and 1 large brush for acrylic or oil painting (bring what you have)
3. Palette – recommend a staywet palette that has a lid, the sponge and permeable paper both can be purchased online. This palette will keep your paint from drying out as you paint.
4. Paper towels
5. Pencil and any size drawing pad as this will be used to create your compositions and ideas for your painting. The size recommended is 9×12 or smaller.
6. Wear old painting clothes or bring an apron.
7. PREP required prior to class: You will receive an email receipt with a link to download an image of the class subject so you can transfer the drawing onto your canvas. You can tone your canvas with a thin color of acrylic paint (I use Burnt sienna) when that layer is dry trace your image on to the canvas. This will allow us to have more time to work on our paintings in the class.
