Acrylic Painting
Welcome to Acrylics! Below is your recommended class supply list. You may also bring your own fine art (not craft) materials and projects. There are several paint and material brands available. If you are uncertain about which to purchase, bring the first three paint hues (colors) listed below on the first day of class. Student grade paints will work for our beginning projects such as Dick Blick Studio, Liquitex Basics. And Winsor Newton Galleria. Professional paints include Golden Heavy Body and Liquitex Heavy Body.
Wear Old Clothes and Bring an Apron. Acrylics are nearly impossible to remove from clothing. Be ready to have fun making art.
