Come Celebrate Edward Hopper's Birthday!
Oil Painting Workshop - July 22, 2018, 10:00am - 4:00pm

Spend a day in the garden celebrating Edward Hopper's Birthday with an oil painting workshop taught by Anne Kullaf.  Ms. Kullaf will start the day with a 90-minute demonstration including time for questions and answers.  After the demo, we'll take a short break for lunch and then bring out our paints to capture to light on the architecture and the gardens. Ms. Kullaf will provide individualized instruction and critique to each participant.  We will end the workshop with a group discussion about the works produced during the workshop.

Materials Needed:
  • Plein air easel suitable for working in oil
  • Canvas panel, paper or stretched canvas in the size of your choice, but no larger than 11x14 please (you want to have enough time to finish!). Please tone the surface with a light middle value of yellow ochre.
  • Professional grade oil paints in the following colors: Prussian blue, ultramarine blue, alizarin crimson, cadmium red light, yellow ochre, cadmium yellow light, titanium white, burnt umber
  • Turpenoid
  • Painting rags
  • I use angled flat brushes, the soft kind, a 1/4 inch and a 1/2 inch can usually do the whole painting for me, but please bring YOUR favorite brushes as I believe brushes are a very personal thing.
  • Trash bag
  • Palette knife
  • Palette
