An Abundance of Sunflowers

An Abundance of Sunflowers**

 

Now available as a recording

 

Sunflowers are one of my favorite things to paint and I'm always exploring new ways in which to SEE and paint them.

Get your hands moving, layering, asking questions, and working. Learn layering techniques to add to your mixed media repertoire all while creating work unique to YOU.

Gather:

• several sheets of your favorite paper to paint on
• a big, round brush
• and your favorite acrylics
• Get ready to harvest an abundance of beautifully layered and textured sunflowers, painted by you!

The work can be used to springboard further painting and sketching projects. It can be used as is or color copied for collage. The sky is the limit. You will generate several paintings in this workshop and I promise it will be difficult to put your brush down when it's over!

I'll talk about the history of sunflower paintings, other artists and how they approached the subject, and more.

 

What supplies will I need?

USE WHAT YOU HAVE

• several sheets of your favorite paper (size depends on you. I usually use 8 1/2 x 11" or 9 x 12" (and I'll get two flowers from that.) You can also work larger or smaller if you'd like.
  

• paint (acrylics), one large round brush (I used a #6) Optional: palette knives, favorite painting tools
• paper towels/rags, plus water in your water bucket
• I will send you a specific supply list of what I used upon registration. Again, I want you to use what YOU already have.
• optional: You COULD collage some of your pages before painting on them. This is optional and I'd encourage you to do it before the workshop begins. I'll share ideas for using the work IN collage as well.
