Learn to Paint this Peony

In this class you will learn how:

to transfer a drawing to your canvas

to blend paint

to create value

to create form

to flip the petals

paint an impressionistic background

paint leaves and stems

what brushes and paints I use

to prepare paper to not warp

I only teach step by step and there are no time lapse videos, except for highly repetitive passages and only after I’ve shown you over half the segment in real time. I want to make sure you can see and clearly understand exactly what I’m teaching.

My goal is for you to learn basic art concepts that you can build on as you complete this painting. Concepts like values, perspective, form, and techniques like blending and knowing which brush to use and why are all explained in these videos as we work our way through the painting. These are all tools you will use in any future painting or art project.

It’s ALL In Here!

I hold nothing back!

I show you every single stroke I make and why I make it.

Included in the class are:

8 real time step by step videos

A drawing you can copy and use of the peony (for your use only)

A complete supply list of paints and brushes I use

Entrance into FREE Facebook private group

Understanding art concepts.

There are basic art concepts, rules if you will, in art and I want you to understand them so you will have success in your art. Most paintings go off the rails in achieving values and I’ll show you exactly how to achieve value so you can create depth, perspective and form. You can muddle along for years not understanding these concepts, but when you do, your art begins to sing and your enjoyment level and satisfaction will go through the roof.

One of the problems I had as a beginner 20 years ago was going into an art store and not having the faintest idea what I should buy. I’ll tell you exactly the paints and brushes I use in this class and I know you’ll save more than the cost of this class if you only purchase the things you need and not every shiny thing in the store.

What Others Say About My Classes:

I am so happy that I purchased the art classes. The video’s are well laid out and the instructions are clear enough that a child can follow them. The video’s are also interesting enough for an adult. We are so happy with what we have learned and look forward to learning more. I can highly recommend this to all my friends and family and anyone looking to learn more about painting. Rachel

About a year and a half ago I had the good fortune to take a couple painting courses from Sharon Graves. Acrylics 101 offered ‘How to paint Daisies’ and ‘How to paint Irises’.

Sharon made it easy. Basic supply lists, nothing too expensive for beginners. Simple step by step directions. Lots of encouragement to cheer me on to ensure I would not get discouraged or give up.

After viewing her videos many times I was relatively successful at painting flowers. My paintings were no longer flat. They had depth and dimension.

You know what? Sharon offered more! She has blogs, informational posts; How to mix colors, How to show shadows, supply tips, biographies of other artists, color charts and links to other artists and art experiences.

Whether you are just getting started or looking to get a different perspective on something you are already familiar with, getting involved with Painting With Acrylics 101 and/ or Sharon Graves will be a worthwhile experience. Shannon

How long will I have access to this class?

You have unlimited access to this class for one full year from date of purchase.

Who is this class for?

This class is for anyone over the age of 10 or so and is designed for beginning students. Teens and adults will gain a lot from this class.

What will I learn in this class?

You will learn art concepts such as how to create value, form and depth. You will learn which brushes to use and why. You will learn how to mix paint. You will learn how to create an impressionistic background. You will learn how to blend paint and how to flip petals over to see both sides.

What type of paint is used in this class.

You will be using acrylics.

What is this painted on?

I painted this on 140lb. water color paper that was 14″ x 18″ and taped onto a Masonite board all the way around using painters tape. You can paint it in any size you’d like, but I wouldn’t smaller than 11″ x 14″. You can paint on stretched canvas, gallery wrap canvas, or wood or canvas panel or water color paper as I did.

Where can I purchase supplies?

There are several online stores you can use such as Dick Blick or Jerry’s Artarama, or you can go to Hobby Lobby or Michaels. I’d steer clear of stores like Walmart because they seldom have artist or student grade paints in tubes. You do not want craft paints.

How do you teach?

I teach using real time videos going step by step. I don’t hold anything back from you. If you don’t understand something, you just watch the video again and I recommend that. I don’t skip over anything or use time lapse videos except where there is a very long passage of repetitive steps and then only after I have shown you at least half of the segment.

Can I share the link?

Absolutely NOT! This class and painting is my creation and my intellectual property. I do NOT give permission for you to share this class with anyone other than someone actually living in your house, using your computer. This is not to be used in a group class setting or in a co-op class.
