Sunset at the Lake
Class experience
In this one-time class, we'll create a colorful view of sunset at a lake and even have optional details such as the silhouette of a person fishing at the water's edge. (No prior drawing or painting experience needed because I'll be leading each child step-by-step through this fun painting project.) We’ll chat about fishing experiences as we introduce ourselves and get settled in at the beginning of class before we begin our painting. I'll even show them some of my lake scene paintings to...
Students will learn about the differences in types of acrylic brushes, how to use an acrylic paint sketching technique, a special blending technique and how to create the look of reflections of the sky on the surface of the lake. They will also learn about the artistic meaning of the words silhouette and back-lit as well as how to create that effect in their painting.
1 file available upon enrollmentACRYLIC PAINTING SUPPLY LIST ONE 8"x10" or 9”x12” White ACRYLIC PAINT SURFACE (See Several Options Below): Stretched Canvas, Canvas Panel/Board, or Acrylic Canvas Paper (What are the differences? . . . 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 or 2 ounces 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. For this specific painting it’s most important to have black paint plus colors your child will want in their sunset sky & white is great for mixing into other colors & for the option of clouds. (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. (Option: plastic paint palette or 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 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. (something not easily tipped over) PAPER TOWELS OPTIONAL: 1 very thin black Sharpie permanent marker could be used (AFTER the class when the painting is completely dry or possibly during class ONLY IF the area for that detail is already completely dry) to add additional tiny details such as a fishing pole or fishing line if your child's smallest paint brush would be difficult to use for a very thin line. Please also see the attached photo to see both types of acrylic brushes.
