Details:

Your budding artist is going to love this four-day-long paint camp! During this week, your artist will learn the fundamentals of painting. They will learn how to blend, create different textures, correct mistakes and so much more! Each day, your artist will also get an opportunity to create their own masterpiece by listening to step-by-step instructions from a professional artist. At the end of the week, your artist will have created 4 paintings to take home with them, as well as have learned about different famous artists throughout history.

Play-by-play of each day:
Monday- Create the color wheel and learn/practice blending techniques in the morning. Recreate Georgia O’Keeffe’s famous Red Poppy on a 11x14 canvas.
Tuesday- Learn the grey scale, how to change the tone and brightness of a color, the importance of contrast and fixing errors. Step by step class on recreating Van Gogh’s Starry Night.
Wednesday- Texture techniques using water and changing the thickness of our paint, and texture through different tools. Create galaxy paintings using primarily our fingers.
