Get ready for a very painterly painting; We’ll squish some paint around to create a very abstracted water lily pond scene based on Claude Monet’s very famous water lilies. We’re looking for very brushy brush strokes! (say that 3 times fast!) The beauty of our virtual art classes is that they can be done anywhere, including for myself on the road in Arizona!
What you’ll need:
Canvas – 9in x 12in or larger
Acrylic paints – blue / brown / white / green / yellow / optional purple or any other color for water lilies
Brushes- flat 3/4in or similar / round size 6 or 8 / round size 4 or anything you consider tiny
Stressed? In pain? Take a break with us while we paint a relaxing winter scene with your peers who “get it”. While this is our last art class of 2022, we are coming back strong in 2023! (In fact, you can register here)
Supplies:
Acrylic paints: Blue / Purple / Yellow / White / Brown / Black / Red (or your choice bird color)
Brushes: Flat 3/4in OR similar size; Round size #8 or smaller
Good news to fans of our art class! We’ll be painting a classic acrylic painting this December 15th at 8pm ET
If you’re able to or interested in signing up, then here’s all the info you need
It’s another BYOAS class – Bring Your Own Art Supplies
Please sign up here if you’d like to join us! All ability levels are welcome! I’ll be instructing everyone step-by-step on how to paint this. As always, feel free to add your own flair of creativity – different trees, different arrangement of trees, more birds, more branches, different colors, anything to make you love it even more 🙂
Acrylic paints: Blue / Purple / Yellow / White / Brown / Black / Red (or your choice bird color)
Brushes: Flat 3/4in OR similar size; Round size #8 or smaller
Canvas: 9in x 12in (or whatever size you want!)
Water / napkins / paper plate or palette
We’ll be using a whole lot of white paint, so make sure you have plenty of that.
As for brushes, sizes are approximate. If you have something smaller, it may take a little longer (maybe!) and if you have a size a little larger, it may take a shorter amount of time (again, maybe!).
If you have family coming in for the holidays, they’re absolutely welcome to have fun with us!!
I will send out the link to class a day or so beforehand 🙂
As always, please let me (Hannah@AnCan.org) or Alexa (Alexa@AnCan.org) know if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions. Hopefully you can join us!
Don’t forget to sign up at the link above. Looking forward to seeing you next week!
We LOVE our Art Friends here at AnCan! Not only do we create beautiful things together, but we take the time to come together as a community. All of our “students” are learning more and more each time, and we use those skills in other classes.
We also truly care about what matters to you. In fact, this art class project was requested by AnCan Art Friend Sharon, who wants to see the northern lights in person. Do you have any ideas for future classes? Just let us know!!
For this class, you’ll need
Paper
Your choice of medium – markers, pen, pencil, colored pencils, paint, watercolor pencils, anything that can mark.
Art Class was back in session with Hannah teaching us about fall trees, including fun add ons to your fall escape like owls, squirrels, and a swing.
Anything goes here! While markers were the main medium, we heard about coffee, soy sauce, and gum as potential art supplies.

Your choice of medium – markers, pen, pencil, colored pencils, paint, watercolor pencils, anything that can mark.
This art class was also in loving honor of our AnCan art friend, George Degnon, and we are holding his family tightly in our hearts. May his memory always be a blessing.
