Monday, the 17th
Your preparation is to paint your 8"x16" canvas with gray gesso. If you are able to achieve some texture, it is desirable. (I had no luck with that.) Then you will use French Blue, adding a little dark blue and black to create a nice dark blue. Base canvas with this after the gesso is dry. Then apply your pattern using white or yellow graphite. We will prepare our palettes and begin the petticoat of paint on our snowmen. See you at 7:00.
Wednesday, the 19th
Your preparation is to apply texture paste in sweeping strokes. We are not looking for a heavy texture, just enough to give us a surface to grab for drybrushing. You may follow the instructions to create a background with Blackberry or you may begin with a black or Charcoal background so that it like the other TV trays, if you are doing the set of trays. Apply the border if you have a chance but it can be done at any time. If you want to do your background drybrushing in class, do not apply your pattern until that is complete. These little snowmen and gingerbread men are so cute! I'm in love with them! See you at 6:30.
Can't wait to paint! dp
