........excellent, you girls are the BEST! I am amazed at how well you all did on this mornings project and feel very proud of you all. The brush strokes were very well executed and the colours and mixing was wonderful....keep up the good work.
I really recommend you all to purchase at least a couple of paints so that you can practice at home (don't forget to use the practice sheets provided so that you don't get into bad habits). Todays colours were:
- Wicker White
- Berry Wine
- Thicket
- School Bus Yellow
With these four basic colours you can mix and match, try using Berry Wine and School Bus Yellow for your flowers and Thicket with Wicker White for your leaves and there you have another unique combination.
We painted the picture frames with Peridot from the Metallic collection of Folk Art Paints, metallics are good for backgrounds and dry fast with a nice sheen. We will be using metallic paint again during the course.
Some of you mentioned how much you enjoyed having the "ambiance music" playing, if you have a favourite CD of classical or very soft music (no rock and roll or else you'll all be turning into Picasso's instead of Donna Dewberry) you are quite welcome to bring it along.
Please remember to bring a cover up shirt with you........we can even paint it in class and make it really cool if we have a few moments after each class.
Next weeks project is a Valentine Project....more information to follow as well as the pictures I took in today's class.
Any questions? Just leave your comments here and I will get back to you ASAP. Happy painting!
