Monday Morning Painting

Anyone can join this group as we learn to paint online with friends. You will be professionally guided along the way in this quick and fun paint-a-long demonstration. This workshop is ideal for those new to painting, however experienced artists are welcome too. The atmostphere is fun and encouraging while it offers some tips and direction and a great way to start painting. 

This class is limited to 10 people maximum. Looking forward to painting together!

Suggested Material List

Paint requirements will be limited to the 3 basic primary colours plus white (yellow, red, blue and white). You can substitute palette paper with styrophoam plates or a slick surface such as plastic tray or wax paper taped to a board. Also as a substitute for a stretched canvas, you can use a canvas board or heavy card stock paper. If you are using a wood panel, you may have to prime it with Gloss Medium and a primer called Gesso before working on wood. 

To follow is a suggested material list:
