Acrylic Creations (Drop In)

Description

With acrylics, the world is your canvas. Learn how to express yourself using the vibrant colors of this delightful paint. Discover how to use the basic techniques of acrylic painting: blending, texturizing, brush strokes, detailing, stippling, and glazing. Paint not just on traditional surfaces but also on leather, clothing, and more. Your imagination sets the limits! Basic supplies: Bring what you have to start but include the following. Paint: I recommend Golden or Liquitex brands. Choose a variety of colors you like but include; white, black, ultramarine blue, red, yellow and burnt umber. You can always purchase additional colors. Brushes: Any brand will work but you will need bristle brushes which are a stiffer brush. You will need a large flat brush, medium to small flat brushes, a small detail brush and a liner brush. I see packets of brushes at Hobby Lobby or Micheals that include all of these if you want to start with a kit. Other supplies: Canvases in a size you like, gesso to prepare your canvas, paper towels, palette paper or paper plates to put your paint on, palette knife, Q tips, and photos or ideas of what you want to paint.
