Hello friends! We have yet another recording for art class! This time we have May’s art project: Twilight In The Pines! Last week we got to use acrylic paint for this serene piney scene at the twilight hour. We had a great time, and we even celebrated longtime participant, Karen Broder’s birthday!

Hello friends! In case you missed April’s AnCan Friends Art Class, we wanted to share the recording with our amazing community. This project uses both crayons and watercolors for a crayon wax resist effect! Check it out below:
You’ll need crayons, watercolors, mixed media paper or watercolor paper, and either a round brush or a flat brush. I happened to use a size # 8 round brush.
In case you’re having trouble figuring out what colors to use, you’ll see a few different examples of paintings I’ve done in the past. Mostly I just had fun experimenting with the colors, and I hope you can do the same, too! We’re always so proud of the work that comes out of this class. Happy painting!!!

Art medium of your choice – watercolor pencils, watercolor paints, crayons, or colored pencils (if using watercolor pencils or paint)
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
