    ABOUT THIS PROGRAM: 

    Join us! We’re painting a colorful kissing fish design

    that is actually a Zoomorphic from a 9th century Spanish manuscript.

    In this paint along you are:

    • Welcome to use you choice of colors as long as they’re middle tones so that we can shade and highlight your painting.

    • Welcome to use your favorite medium such as gouache, watercolors, color pencils or take this opportunity to play and experiment with new materials.

    • Use your favorite brand of small brushes just be sure they’re round and pointed

    • Upon registration you will receive the materials list and the Pattern. The Pattern is yours to keep and use forever. Print out the Pattern on your favorite paper that will go thru a copier. I recommend Arches Text Wove.

    This is a relaxed ONLINE class. The mic is open for questions and solutions. There’s a lot of sharing and individual attention to your work.


    SUPPLY LIST:

    • Cardboard (or pizza box) to mount paper onto while you’re painting.
    • Pigment: Any middle-tone color that you like. Just be sure color can go to shade and
    • highlight tones.
    • Medium: Use your favorites (gouache, w/c, color pencils)
