Acrylic Painting Boot Camp: Flex Class Edition

  5 files available upon enrollment
• 8 OR MORE PAINT COLOURS: 
  Yellow, Red, Blue, Orange, Pink, Purple, White, Black
NOTE: Better quality paint usually results in better paintings. My go-to paint is Winsor Newton or Artist loft Level 3, however I often use Deco Art Acrylic Paint for classes because it’s more affordable, dries faster, and many students use that brand. Deco art paint works very well! 

• 6 OR MORE PAINT BRUSH: 
  Thick flat brush =  1in wide. 
  Soft Medium flat brush = 1/3 inch wide. 
  Hard (or damaged) Medium flat brush = 1/3 inch wide. 
  2 Medium round, soft bristled brush. (Size 2, 6-8)
  Very small, thin rounded brush (Size 0-000)

• 5 GOOD PAINT SURFACE: 
Hard canvases like a canvas board, stretched canvas, or wood boards are ideal.
Sturdy cardboard from a cereal/cracker/cookie box or frozen food box will work too. It will need to be taped down.
Watercolour or canvas paper will work. It will need to be taped down. 
NOTE: Regular paper will not work. 

• 4 PRACTICE PAINT SURFACES:
I use thin, smooth, sturdy cardboard from a cereal/cracker/cookie box or frozen food box. Paper will work to practice most techniques. 

• PALATE: I use plastic lids 

• OLD RAG/CLOTH

• HARD, FLAT EDGES: I use an old plastic wallet card, but a plastic ruler, palate knifes or even a spatula will work. 

• WATER CONTAINER

• PAINTERS TAPE

• PENCIL AND ERASER

• BLOW DRYER (optional)

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Younger learners may need assistance with the blowdryer. Please be available to assist with the steps requiring a blowdryer. Alternatively, learners can simply wait for their paintings to dry naturally.
