This class will explore the range of techniques possible when using acrylics, with emphasis on saturated color and creativity. Students will be encouraged to paint freely and spontaneously.

Materials: Paint: Fast-drying acrylics are recommended, although students may opt for the “open” (slow-drying) type if they prefer. Brand names include Liquitex, Golden, Utrecht, and Winsor & Newton. Colors: Cadmium Yellow Medium, Yellow Oxide or Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Red Light, Naphthol Crimson, Phthalo Blue, Ultramarine Blue, Titanium White. Other useful colors: Brilliant Purple, Dioxazine Purple, Hookers Green Deep Hue Permanent. The first six colors and Titanium White are a must-have. Any other colors the student may have, are encouraged.

Brushes: Short flats called brights, #2, 4, 6. I like Winsor & Newton University brand available at Dick Blick in Little Italy or online (www.dickblick.com). Any bristle brush students may have will work.

Canvas Panels: Small canvas panels from Michael's 5x7,” 6x8,” 8x8,” 8x10.”

Other: A support for the paper (thick cardboard, etc.); disposable palette or covered palette; paper towels; finger sprayer; water container; roll of masking tape. A quart or pint of white Liquitex gesso is good to have although not absolutely necessary. Anyone who needs to buy materials online can go to Cheap Joe’s Art Stuff (www.cheapjoes.com) or Jerry’s Artarama (www.jerrysartarama.com). Please prepare a selection of photo references (still life, flowers, landscape, and people in groups.)

Max students: 13
