Whether you’re new to painting or looking to strengthen your fundamentals, this workshop focuses on what it takes to start a painting well. Students will explore composition, values, atmosphere, and color mixing while learning a clear, thoughtful approach to the painting process. The class includes live demonstrations, group discussion, and individualized one-on-one guidance to help each participant develop confidence and a strong foundation for future work!
Recommended Supply List for Oil and Acrylic Painters:
• The Albrecht Kemper provides tables and table easels for those who work sitting. If you prefer to work standing, please bring your own easel setup.
• Brushes: Flat and/or filbert hog bristles or synthetic hog bristles in a various sizes ( 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) plus round rigger or script for certain situations.
• Palette Knife.
• Canvases: I recommend 8x10 to 12x16. Canvas panels or gessoed masonite work great.
• Artist Grade Paint: This is my palette. You don't need all of these but should have enough range to mix most any color: Titanium White, Cadmium Yellow light or Cadmium Lemon Yellow, Cadmium Yellow Medium, Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Red light, Burnt Sienna or Transparent Oxide Red, Alizarin Crimson, Ultramarine Blue, Viridian Green and Ivory Black
• Odorless Mineral Spirits or Gamsol. No turpentine please.
• Paper Towels.
For those using watercolor or pastel, use pigments that approximate the above list.
