Come paint with me! In this fun one time class I will provide step by step instruction for students to create their own sea turtle masterpiece! I will demonstrate each step on screen as students work on their own canvas. We will practice basic drawing skills, followed by a variety of acrylic painting techniques, including: color mixing, brush choice, layering, and blending. During this class we will discuss related elements and principles of art, including: line, shape, space, color, texture, pattern, and emphasis. No prior experience is necessary, all skill levels are welcome! Students will build painting confidence with this paint-along style class and will have an amazing masterpiece by the end of class. In some cases students may need a little bit of additional time after class to complete their project. Please carefully review the required materials listed below.
