Class Content: Artists see beauty in everyday moments and objects. It may be the eggs on their breakfast plate, a cup of pens on their desk, or even a glass of water at a restaurant; there is beauty in the mundane.
In this class, attendees will create an innovative, fun still life, stylized with color in a way that will increase vibrancy and add life to a regular everyday object. Learn how to choose colors that will make your art pop and how to use the grid method to scale up a reference photo onto canvas! A primed and gridded canvas (16 x 20 inches) will be provided for all attendees.
Please bring a printed image (standard 8.5 x 11) of a(n) everyday object(s) that inspires you!
Supply List:
1. Acrylic / Acrylic Gouache Paints
2. Acrylic Mediums of your choice – Ex. Matte medium, gloss medium, or Gac 100 all to help with the spreadability of your paints. Molding paste or gel mediums will create texture!
3. Brushes suitable for acrylics – for this class I suggest some nicer brushes such as Princeton Aspens (or a synthetic hog hair brush) for those nice crisp lines!
4. A palette, this could be as simple as a paper plate!
5. Of course bring any other supplies you want! I suggest bringing paint pens, crayons, paper, anything that you think will add to you still life! This will be very much painting forward!
Hannah will be providing a 16 x 20 inch primed and grided canvas!
