Principles of Painting 24420A

 Please note class dates: 1/31-2/7, 4/3-5/8. Spring break 4/17

Color, light, shade and form are among the basic painting principles you learn in this introductory course. Using acrylics, oils or the new water-based oil paints, or other painting medium of your choice, we cover the skills, tools and techniques needed to begin a lifetime of painting.

 

MATERIALS LIST

Table Easel
Canvas Paper Pad
Palette
(either paper or board or plastic)
Filbert brushes sizes 1,3,5,7, one bright size 10 (suitable for oil or acrylic-I prefer bristle, but you may want to add a sable/sableine or two) The numbers may change brand to brand, but get a variety of sizes from small to large. You can also go to Home Depot and get a natural bristle brush there as well in a very large size.
Painting knife (bent at the neck- not straight) any shape/size should feel comfortable to you and be a little flexible at least (they  make many sizes and shapes, all are ok)
Paper towels (or rags)
2 containers to hold mediums in (they can be small)
