MIXED MEDIA FLORAL STILL LIFE
Gwen Lafleur
Monday May 6, 2019
In this fun and fast-paced full day class, we’ll combine paper, paint, and mark-making to create beautiful floral still-life paintings on a canvas board. I’ll share a new background technique that works for canvases and art journal spreads, as well as an easy and unique way to create an underpainting for your floral composition.
Students should bring:
- Baby wipes, scissors, paper towels, apron, water cup
- Acrylic paint – several colors, plus black and white (I also recommend Payne’s Gray)
- Paint brushes – 1/2″ and 1″ flat brushes, a detail brush, a round brush (#4 or #6 is good)
- Glazing Medium
- Matte Medium and both large and small brushes to apply
- A selection of neutral papers and ephemera
- Patterned paper (can be scraps,) gel prints, etc… with a variety of colors and prints (we’ll also make some of our own)
Optional:
- Multiple shades / hues of the same color paint (ie Cadmium Yellow, Mars Yellow, Burnt Umber)
- Detail applicators for your paint (ie Dina Wakley paint tips, Fine Liner bottles) or paint pens, especially for black and white
- Acrylic inks (gold if you have it, or gold fluid acrylic paint)
- Black “Stabilo All” pencil
- Heat gun
- Rubber stamps, stencils
Kit Fee: $5.00
- 11″x14″ canvas board
