Create paintings inspired by the animal kingdom. In this four-session class, students will build the skills to paint furry, feathered, or scaly creatures. Students will choose an animal subject and take their painting from the drawing stage to completed painting with help from instructor Michelle Boerio. In each class we’ll practice techniques to mix color, create texture, and add detail to our paintings. Students are welcome to use acrylic or oil paint. Instructor will provide reference images, drawing tools, and back-ups of supplies.Materials List for student:
• Paints in either oil paint or medium – heavy body acrylic: White, cadmium yellow,
napthol red or cadmium red medium, quinacridone magenta, ultramarine blue or
