The Blue-and-Gold Macaw is symbolic of life in our tropical paradise. What a beautiful picture it is! The subtle shading contains the colors of the rainbow. You will be proud to display this one on your wall or gift it to a friend. Teacher Diane Davis is well trained in the use of both acrylics and oils and she will have you use both while painting this canvas. She has studied and received certification from a variety of professional teachers such as Bob Ross and Gary Jenkins.

Come paint and learn with your old friends or make some new painting friends at this seminar that is suited to both beginning and intermediate painters.

Supply Fee    $7.00 – all inclusive  (Pattern/Photo/Oil Paints/Turps/Medium)

Palette: 
In addition to the oil paints that are supplied by Diane with the palette, you will need to bring acrylic paints for eye and beak…

• Black
  
• White
• Small cup or Basin for water to rinse

Preparation:

• LOTS of paper towels!  Before you come to class. Pile up your paper towels and cut them in half and then in half again.  There is nothing like picking up a towel that has already been used.  It saves on the use and keeps your hands fairly clean.
• Make a palette for your paints. Take a 9×12 (approximate) piece of cardboard and cover it with freezer paper (shiny side up) OR bring a real oil palette OR bring palette paper that is labeled as suitable for oils

Brushes:

• Brushes for BACKGROUND…
• 1-inch OR 1-1/2-inch brush for background, either bristle or synthetic (a cheap chip brush will work)
• Brushes for BIRD/LEAVES (soft synthetic OR oil brushes)…

• 1 inch flat
• 1/2 inch flat (Diane likes to have two)
• #8 filbert OR #6 filbert will work, too
• #1 OR #2 liner
• Your favorite brushes (better to have too many than too few)

Surface: 

• 16×20 canvas
• NO preparation is required

Supplies: 

• Regular painting supplies
• Bring a small trash bag to tape to your table for the discarded towels.

Lunch:           BROWN BAG – bring your own sack lunch
