Painterly Pages with One Brush 

Now available as a recording

 

 Come paint with me!

 

Create rich, luscious, painterly pages in this special 2 1/2 hour workshop. These papers can be used in paintings, as art journal pages, as painted backgrounds, collage pieces and much, much more.

I'll share the basics of my favorite brush (it's not a magic brush, and if you don't have one, we'll discuss alternatives as I am a big believer in using what you have.) We will also discuss the properties of various acrylic paints and what my favorites are (and why.)

 

**We won't be creating finished art journal pages, instead we will be creating a small pile of painted pages to inspire NEW work. I'm sharing some of my favorite finished pages so you have an idea of just some of the things you can do with your work from class. 

 

Come spark ideas for an abundance of new paintings, journal pages or even an entire body of work!

 

Supplies needed: 

 

(I'll send a list of the specifics I use so you have it upon registration. Use what YOU have.)

•  Dress to paint! 
• Tip: When I painted at a table, I put a large piece of cardstock or paper down on my surface to protect it AND I get more painted paper from it!
  
• A pile of cardstock or your favorite paper to paint on in a manageable size (8 1/2 x 11" or smaller)
• one large paint brush (approximately 1" flat brush (a #12))
• Acrylic paints: Titanium White, Payne's Grey (or Black), a red (Quinacridone Magenta is my favorite), a yellow (I like Benzimidazolone or Diarylide/Marigold), and a blue (Phthalo Turquoise is one of my Go To Blues), a favorite bonus color (for me, that would probably be Quinacridone Gold.) Heavy body acrylic is my favorite. Use what you have.
• A roll of paper towels (I love blue shop towels)
• Water in a your paint jar
• A barrier cream for your hands, or gloves 
• Waxed Paper (or room to leave your pages out to dry) 

*Disclaimer: I do not work for or represent any company or brand. The views I share on my favorite tools and brands are from more than 25 years of working hands on with acrylic paints and mixed media supplies. No one pays me to sell their wares nor do I receive any free product. I only recommend what I love and use.
