Canvas Painting

Students learn the basics of painting 

Students need to get materials of canvas, acrylic paints, brushes, bowl and cloth to the Master Class.

The time duration will be for about two hours.

Students will have a few fun activities during the class 

1. Prepare your canvas.
2. Set the mood with a tonal background color.        
3. Keep your brushes in the water while you're painting so that the paint doesn't dry in them. Use a container with a shallow layer of water to keep the brushes wet without soaking the handles (which will cause the lacquer to peel off) and another container to clean the brushes between colors

The first technique I always teach in painting (and a technique I use on 99% of my work) is to cover the white canvas with one solid paint colour which is called a ' toned ground'. This is short for 'toned background' and is No. 

Pro tip: It is applied after priming a canvas with gesso if you're working on a raw canvas.
