Intermediate to Advanced Painting Course

Join Shannon Lester, MFA, at the Studio for a four week acrylic painting course! You will learn techniques to advance your acrylic painting skills, including blending, glazing, dry brushing, layering and impasto. Brush use and colour mixing will also be explored. These sessions will guide you through the artistic process from concept to creation, and Shannon will bring your skills to the next level with his professional expertise. This course is suitable for all ability levels, but a basic knowledge of painting and artistic practice is required.

In this course you will create your own representational painting from start to finish. You decide the subject matter and Shannon will guide you through the process, combining techniques of the old masters with contemporary techniques he developed himself over his many years of painting.

The course will be held on Sunday evenings from 3:30-6pm starting on March 2nd, and it will be $200 for the four sessions. Tickets can be bought on our website, studioonwater.com. Students are expected to purchase their own basic supplies in accordance with the supply list, but some additional supplies will be provided

Supply list:

-Spray bottle-24x30 canvas (minimum size- can go larger)

-Acrylic paints: red, blue, yellow, white, black, yellow ochre/burnt Sienna, and raw umber. Plus any special colours that might catch your eye. (Additional paint will be provided). Can use student grade paint but if you wish to indulge Liquitex or Opus brands are a little nicer.
