About this Event

Beginning to intermediate skill levels and beyond.

Get started or improve your painting skills creating a realistic painting with strong color and impact using oil or acrylic. You may paint in the demonstration piece or work from your own photos if you prefer. Each student will receive one-on-one guidance along the way. Diane Morgan is an award-winning painter with many years of teaching experience.


Student materials:
Oil Paint or Acrylic colors.

• Instructor recommends water-soluble oils that clean with water. Windsor & Newton, Holbein water-mixable oils , or LUKAS Berlin , are acceptable brands for class. If you prefer regular oils, you will need Gamsol for cleaning brushes or Dawn detergent, which also works.

• Just about any acrylic brand is fine. Acrylic is inexpensive. Purchase your acrylics in the tube kind rather than other formulations. FYI: Golden Open acrylics stay blendable longer and don’t dry as fast.

• Colors Needed for Class: Cadmium red (medium), Cadmium orange, Alizarin crimson, Cadmium yellow, Cobalt blue, Sap green, Titanium white (large tube), Payne's Grey, Black (if desired).

• Gesso for thinning acrylic or another thinning medium. Extender for lengthening drying time of acrylic

Brushes

• Synthetic multi-purpose for oil or acrylic. Instructor recommends Silver Ruby Satin brushes and prefers filberts over flat. Personal preferences vary. Sizes: Filberts 4, 8, 10, 20 and larger if you like, or same sizes in Rounds if you prefer that style brush.

• Blenders brushes (soft). Watercolor brushes and even makeup brushes.

Other Supplies

• If you use prefer to use regular rather than water-soluble oils, bring Turpentine along with a glass jar with secure lid. Remember: Turpentine must be disposed of at a hazardous waste facility. You can also use Murphy’s oil soap or dish soap for cleaning instead of turpentine.

• Gamblin Gamsol Odorless Mineral Spirits if you use regular oils.

• Palette Knife (medium size)

• Disposable Paper Palette or a butcher tray

• Canvas Boards or stretched canvas

• Glass Jar for thinner storage for oil cleaning

• Rags / Paper Towels

• Some kind of a spray bottle for water
