A 5-week course designed to Learn color theory and brush type, Experiment with composition and genre. (10 hours)

• Paper Color Wheel - (Micheals, Hobby Lobby or Walmart)
• Canvas. They can be wrapped, traditional, boards or 140lb cold pressed Watercolor paper.*Note - Look for multi packs for the best price. Also get a few extras in case you mess up, multi packs are great. You will need 12 x 24 or larger.
• Mixed media multiple brush pack, various shapes, and sizes. Synthetic fibers are best for acrylic painting. But it is always best to have a few other fiber types in your toolbox. You will need sizes 12 and under. Be sure you select a pack that offers a variety of tip styles. For example, round tip, flat square tip, and Filbert tip, it looks like a flat tip but oval shape. Also get 1- 18” Filbert long handle brush for large areas.
• Paint Pallet – I recommend getting a tray that has a storing lid for later use.
• Pallet knife to mix paint
• Rags or paper towels to clean up and damp brushes.
• Paint:4oz tubes or larger –
