This week's class

Hello everyone!
So this week, Tuesday- the three projects we discussed are due! The animal portrait, the mosaic, and the Arcimboldo portrait. Also, for Thursday, you will need to have:
a set of acrylic paints (any brand, whatever fits your budget. Most sets will have the basic colors-this is all you need as far as paint goes)
a few brushes of various thicknesses. (look at the brushes that are for acrylic painting, not oil painting. These don't need to be expensive brushes, just basic ones.)
a cup or jar to hold water
a rag or paper towels
a 16x20 canvas panel (this is a flat canvas covered board available at any art store. Not the stretched canvas that has thick sides)
A couple of 8x10 canvas panels
I'll bring examples of materials to class on Tuesday in case you are confused about any of these items.
See you Tuesday!
