Question 1

What art supplies do I need?

Accepted Answer

You will need acrylic paint, brushes, water, a rag or paper towel, and whatever sized canvas you'd like to use. (I usually use 11x14.) If you've painted with oils and would rather use those, you are welcome to do that.

Question 2

Can I get help with my painting?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I stop painting every 15 minutes or so to do "check-ins" where each student turns their painting towards the camera and gets individual help or feedback. (Always helpful, never critical.) If you need extra help, you can sign add on Tues Open Paint Sessions when you register.

Question 3

Can I miss one of the class sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, each class is recorded, and you will have access to the recordings.

Question 4

I don't have much experience painting, is this class for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You just have to have the supplies, an open mind, and be willing to risk not being good (at first) in order to learn. It can take a bit of courage to try something new, and this is a warm, welcoming environment for it.

Question 5

You teach in acrylics; can I use oil paints instead?

Accepted Answer

You can use oil paints if you have some experience with them. I won't teach you the ins and outs of oils in this class (you can schedule a private lesson for that), but if you let me know you're using oils, I may give you slightly different instructions than the rest of the group.

Question 6

Can I use watercolors?

Accepted Answer

Watercolor paint is a whole different animal than acrylics, and I can't instruct in both at the same time. If you come to class and use watercolors, you'll likely get something from the class, but you'll miss out, also. I recommend acrylics, or scheduling a private lesson for watercolors.
