Paint Nite: Gorgeous Gourds
Available as a Private Event: Book Now
A Yaymaker VIRTUAL PAINT NITE event!!!
Recommended Supplies - Source online, support local businesses, or use supplies you already have at home! (pencils, crayons, markers, on canvas, paper, cardboard, wood, smooth stones . . . use your imagination!)
- Canvas: Any size- whatever works for you! (you can even paint over a previous Paint Nite painting) I recommend Michael's Super Value Pack canvases. You can get 5-7 canvases (depending what size) for $16 (CDN $) and you can usually use a coupon too. They are better quality and smoother to paint on.
- Acrylic Artist or Craft Paints: Craft paints can be found at the dollar or craft stores for around $2 a bottle. If buying beginner artist paints, I recommend Liquitex Basics which you can find at any art store, including Michaels. For this painting, we will be using orange, dark brown, turquoise or mint green, off-white cream colour, bright red, golden yellow, black and white.
If you are using artist paints and would like the specific shades I will be using, I will share this with you at the beginning of the lesson.
- Paint Brushes: A variety of sizes OPTIONAL: sponge for stippling the background OR an old toothbrush. If using a toothbrush to get the background effect, beware that it is messy and is best to do this step outside!
- Paint Palette: A disposable plate, piece of cardboard, or a tupperware lid (finally a use for all of the lids without bottoms!)
- Water: Water to rinse your brush out between colours. A disposable cup, old margarine container, or tupperware will do.
- Paper Towel: For drying our paint brushes after rinsing
- Hair Dryer: Not necessary, but nice to have to quickly dry your painting between steps if needed.
- Protective apron or old t-shirt to keep your favorite outfits fresh even at home
