ACRYLIC PAINTING
with NancyJeanette
We don’t take a formal lunch break, but you are welcome to bring a snack or something to share, if you like.
Both standing and table easels as well as palettes are supplied.
Here’s everything else you’ll need:
Paint: If you already have paints, bring what you have, and I’ll supplement as needed for your first class. If you are purchasing paint, I highly recommend that you order this set of paints from www.dickblick.com . This has 12 very “useful” colors in small tubes for about $40. Liquitex Professional Heavy Body Acrylics - Set of 12, Essential Colors, 22 ml
Brushes: You’ll need at least two brushes: one large and one small. Recommended sizes 12 and 8 or 6 and 10 of a synthetic bristle with a long handle. Brushes should be a bit “stiff”, not too soft. If you want a basic useful set, I recommend this Princeton Aspen set of 4 brushes for about $40 at www.dickblick.com Princeton Aspen Synthetic Brushes - Set of 4
Palette Knife: The most useful shape is called Trowel. It has a triangle shape and a bend down from the handle. Metal works better than plastic but any will do.
Canvas or Canvas Boards: You will need one or two per class of any size you prefer. Most students bring 2 smaller ( 8 x 10) or one larger (16 x 20). If you want to paint very large works, please let NancyJeanette know in advance.
1 sturdy water bowl (Cool Whip size is good)
1 roll of Paper Towels
Relaxed attitude and comfortable clothes that can take a mess!!
