Are you in an autumn kind of mood? Want to make a beautiful fall-themed image and practice your acrylic painting skills? Let's paint together! This is a one-session class that will end with each student having created their own unique masterpiece! We'll begin by viewing the example artwork, Vincent van Gogh's famous painting, "Mulberry Tree in Autumn," and sketching out our own designs on canvas or paper. I will demonstrate techniques that we can use to imitate van Gogh's signature style of painting, then lead students step-by-step to create their own paintings. Although my instructions are quite detailed, you are encouraged to add your own creative touches to your painting! What materials will you need for this class? -- Canvas or THICK paper recommended, size 9x12" or similar -- Acrylic paints (basic color palette: red/yellow/blue, black/white/brown; orange is also recommended) -- Paint palette or paper plate -- Paint brushes (1/2" flat brush and small round brush are recommended; other sizes as preferred by student) -- Water cup, paper towels ****Please have all materials set out & ready to go BEFORE class begins!

Learning Goals
We'll practice painting in a style inspired by the Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh, and will create a scene that exhibits movement, texture, depth, and overlapping.

Supply List
Required supplies: -- Canvas or THICK paper* recommended, size 9x12" or similar -- Acrylic paints (basic color palette: red/yellow/blue, black/white/brown; orange, green, & violet also recommended) -- Paint palette or paper plate -- Paint brushes (1/2" flat brush and small round brush are recommended; other sizes as preferred by student) -- Water cup, paper towels *If using paper, consider taping the edges down! Make sure your tape can be safely peeled away. Materials FAQ: --- Can I use regular paper? Yes! However, it will wrinkle. Probably a lot. --- Can I paint on a BIGGER canvas? Sure! But you may not quite have time to finish your painting during class. Use big brushes too! --- What colors will I need? I've listed the basic palette above. But feel free to use whatever colors you like! Think autumn colors, like red, orange, brown, yellow... --- Can I use oil pastel/crayon/colored pencils instead of paint? Well, you're welcome to do that. However, your final artwork will look very different from our example. I'll help you however I can!

I have taught some version of this lesson in my classes for at least the past ten years! This style of painting or drawing is very accessible, and my students are often pleasantly surprised at how well their artwork turns out. My demonstration is easy to follow, but still allows students to experiment and add a personal touch to their work. This has always been one of my favorite projects to display in my classroom, and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I always do!
