Let's Paint Santa Owl!

Class

Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(68)
In this one-time class, we'll have fun painting an owl with an optional Santa hat using acrylic paints. I'll give them lots of options, too, so each owl can be totally unique and have its own little personality.

Class experience

Students will learn about the differences in types of acrylic brushes, how to use an acrylic paint sketching technique, some textural painting techniques for the feathery parts of their owl and which brushes are best for specific parts of our painting.  They will also learn how to use color to make their owl stand out against their background.  (If using a black canvas, the student will also learn about how that dark surface changes their colors.)  Of course, the students will also learn how to paint an owl.
Homework Offered
We won't have a homework assignment but if your child is not finished painting by the end of our time together, that would be something easily finished even after our class ends. We will have covered all the major steps, but a student may need a little more time after class to finish filling in a part of their background. It's also possible that your child will want to continue creating other owl paintings independently after this class.
Assessments Offered
There will be no formal assessment; however, we will take the time to hold up our paintings several times during and at the end of class to celebrate and encourage each other's progress and results. I'll give more guidance throughout the lesson as needed.

ACRYLIC PAINTING SUPPLY LIST ONE 8"x10" White or Black ACRYLIC PAINT SURFACE (See Several Options Below): Stretched Canvas, Canvas Panel/Board, or Acrylic Canvas Paper (TIP: IF you do not have a BLACK surface but want to try that option, you can paint a white canvas solid black with acrylic paint at least 1 or 2 days before our class. Or you could even cut a black foam board to an 8"x10" size to paint on... or even a heavy/thick black paper that can withstand our liquid paint medium. IF you'd prefer to use a white canvas, you can easily use whatever color you would like to paint the background around your Santa Owl even after our class ends if you do not have time to do the background during class.) (What are the differences in the types of surfaces? . . . Stretched Canvas has primed (coated white) canvas stretched over a wooden frame & stapled to the wood. Canvas Panel/Board feels more solid like the canvas is mounted/glued to a stiff cardboard. Acrylic Canvas Paper is thick, coated paper that is flexible but won't warp and tear as easily as other papers and comes in a pad of multiple sheets.) ACRYLIC PAINTS (not tempera, not watercolor, not oil): I suggest as least 1 ounce of several different colors including Blue, Red, Yellow, White & Black plus also Green, Orange, Purple & Brown although your child may not choose to use all of the colors. (Thicker acrylic paint in tubes are the best consistency for our painting techniques. If possible, try to avoid using the thinner acrylics in plastic bottles that sound watery when shaken.) PAPER PLATE to use as a paint palette. (Optional to use a plastic paint palette instead or even a disposable pie tin) ACRYLIC PAINT BRUSHES in a variety of sizes. Include a couple of medium size ROUGH Flat Brushes (looks like a square on the tip but bristles are rough and a little prickly to the touch. Also include a couple of very small SMOOTH Acrylic Brushes (1 very small Round brush like a pencil tip shape and 1 slender Flat Square Shape) Please avoid brushes that are flimsy and bend when put under a stream of water. (Those are watercolor brushes instead of acrylic brushes.) WATER in a metal can, plastic cup or glass jar. PAPER TOWELS Please also see the attached photo to see both types of acrylic brushes; however, a black canvas is not in this photo.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
