SUPPLY LIST: – SNOW SCAPES - Winter Shadows (2019)INSTRUCTED BY Cindy Barratt, ASA
 
Beginner to Intermediate LevelsCapture a picturesque winter’s day, as Cindy leads you through the basics of acrylic painting.   Along with colour usage and mixing and brush stroke/techniques exercises,   you will learn how to capture a sparkling winter scene.   Design and photo reference for  8 x 10” or 9 x 12" canvases will be supplied.  The workshop runs 5.5 hours so please bring a bag lunch.
 
YOU WILL NEED TO BRING:  (please also bring any additional supplies you have)
 
1 or more  8 x 10” or 9 X 12" stretched and gessoed canvases or canvas boards (or any size you wish to work in).
Palette or white plates to mix paint on (to keep your acrylic palette from drying out you will need a large airtight plastic container that your palette fits into).
Water containers
Spray bottle (fine mist)
Pencil and eraser
Graphite transfer paper (some will be available from the instructor)
Paper towels, absorbent rags or clothes and or sponges
Plastic table cover or newspaper (optional)
 
BRUSHES:  Bring all brushes you have available – I use a variety of watercolour, acrylic and oil brushes
OR:     One 1” flat soft brush
            1 - 2 Round or ¼ - ½” flat bristle brushes
            2 round soft brushes – smaller size 4 or 6 and larger size 10 or 12  (these numbers

            1 or 2 flat acrylic blending brushes approx. ¼ - ½”
            1 script liner (#1) or a small thin brush for detail
            Palette Knife (optional)
 
PAINT:  I use Golden Heavy Body Acrylics which are a professional grade of paint.  There are many types of acrylic paints available so the choice is yours.  Quality and lightfastness are factors that will affect the price you pay.  Liquitex Artist Colour is a cheaper alternative to Golden with reasonable quality.  Grumbacher Academy or Liquitex Basics are good student brands.

Titanium White, Hansa or Cadmium Yellow (medium is best), Phthalo or Cerulean Blue, Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ochre, Dioxazine Purple.
 
OPTIONAL COLORS ARE:  Quinacridone Gold or Indian Yellow, Pyrrole Orange or Cadmium Orange,  Cadmium Red or Alizarin Crimson, Jenkins or Phthalo Green, and any other colours you may have.
 
DUE TO SEVERE ALLERGIES – CINDY KINDLY REQUESTS THAT STUDENTS TO NOT WEAR PERFUMES, COLOGNES, ETC. – THANK YOU!!!
