Paint a Masterpiece a Day
Zoom – 10:30 am – Noon
March 10, 17, 24, 31, April 7, 14 
We create one painting a week—six paintings in all—following a step-by-step process. Specific colors of paint are required for instruction on color mixing. Each week we use a different masterwork for inspiration. This class emphasizes a positive approach and discussion. A different painting is chosen each week based upon the progress of the class. Each week the paintings become more challenging.
Required materials:
- Acrylic paint in the following colors: Alizarin Crimson, Phthalocyanine (Phthalo) Blue, Titanium White, Burnt Sienna, Cadmium, Yellow Medium
- Three brushes: 1 flat brush 1/2 inch
- 1 small round nylon bristle brush (choose size 4 or 6)
- 1 medium round nylon bristle brush (choose size 8 or 10)
- Paint palette or palette paper (butcher paper or a plastic disposable plate work)
- Disposable cup for water
- Paper towels
