SUMMARY:Explorations in Art Forms by Non Professionals · Putting Art as Tai Chi into Practice
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a relaxed\, hands-on painting workshop where we'll learn to paint loose\, expressive landscapes one step at a time. Using short video lessons\, we'll watch\, paint for about 15 minutes\, discuss our work\, and then move on to the next stage together.\n\nWe'll explore color\, brushwork\, texture\, atmosphere\, and simple landscape techniques while building confidence and developing a more intuitive painting style. Whether you're new to painting or have years of experience\, this class is about letting go of perfection\, trusting the process\, and having fun with paint.\n\nPainting cheat sheet\n\nPaint loose • Paint simple • Have fun\n\nWhat you'll need\n\n• A size 4 or 6 filbert brush\n\n• Palette paper\n\n• A 5 × 7 canvas board\n\n1. Set up your palette\n\nThink of your palette like a piano: bass (low notes) on the left\, treble (high notes) on the right. From left to right:\n\n• Black\n\n• Purple\n\n• Dark blue\n\n• Light blue\n\n• Green\n\n• Brown\n\n• Red\n\n• Yellow\n\n• White\, kept separate\, with about twice as much as the other colors\n\nTip: Keep white by itself. You'll use a lot of it.\n\n2. Hold the brush correctly\n\nDo\n\n• Hold the brush farther back.\n\n• Keep your hand loose and open.\n\n• Hold it more like a chopstick than a pencil.\n\n• Let the brush dance across the canvas.\n\nDon't\n\n• Choke up on the brush.\n\n• Grip it like a pencil.\n\n• Over-control every stroke.\n\nNature is loose and imperfect. Your brushwork should be too.\n\nhttps://ifacgroup.com/series/art-for-non-professionals
