Most artists who try to paint are pretty good at drawing but struggle with the transition between drawing and painting. Fortunately, every artist, even going back hundreds of years, has struggled with this. This class will follow the various techniques artists have developed to ease the transition from drawing to painting and make painting less intimidating.

Supplies needed
Brushes: I recommend picking up a variety of brush shapes and textures that will give you a lot of room to experiment. I like brushes with long handles. A lot of artists are more comfortable with short handle brushes. -Have at least 1 big brush ~ 2 inches wide -at least 1 very tiny round brush. -A variety of “Flats” -A variety of “rounds” -Filberts and brights are not recommended.
