The Inaugural Class!



 Well, the studio is finally open and last night was the first class. It was such a hubbub of activity, I completely forgot to take any photos. But here it is the next day. I love having all this activity in the studio. Just feels great to walk through it. Maybe next week I'll remember to take a photo of artists at work. 

Happy Painting!

Dawn

COLOR 1 SUPPLY LIST

Supply List Painting with Color Confidence1.  2014

For questions  email dawn@dawnart.com

If you already have paints, bring what you have but this is what you need for class. Supplies available at Utrecht or Binders or other art supply stores.



I prefer working in oils because my mixture will stay wet for the class. Acrylic will  dry quickly  so you will need to keep them wet with water  and retarder.

These are the primary colors. Buy the professional brands in these three colors. I have the pigment codes below. Use the pigment codes as a guide to buy the right color as color names change all the time.
  • Red - permanent rose/ quinacridone red- pigment code PV19  (You may use Alizarin Crimson instead)     
  • Yellow -  cadmium  yellow,  or hue - pigment code PY35    
  • Blue - Phtalo Blue   green or blue shade  fine -pigment code PB15 (You may use Ultramarine Blueinstead)

New Studio in Midtown Now Open for Classes

I am very excited about my new teaching space in Midtown. I have recently renovated the apartment in our charming house in Midtown into a teaching studio and will begin teaching painting classes and workshops this month. You can check out my blog to see the  improvements and work in progress.  http://dawnart.blogspot.com/2014/08/work-in-studio.html
Having my own teaching space will allow for a lot of extra features you just can't offer other places. So I'm really looking forward to it and I think my students will love it.

I hope you can join me for a class or workshop.
