Hi Everyone,


I hope you are all well and staying safe.

It's finally time to start classes again.   Unfortunately, because of the social distancing and mask mandate, I will only be able to have 4 students at a time. 

 

I am able to schedule weekday classes and will schedule the same painting on 2 different dates so hopefully everyone who wants to will be able to take the class.   

 

Weekday classes will be offered on a regular basis.

 

Given the limited class size I ask that if you can, please book and pay through paypal.  If you can’t please contact me.   Also if you sign up and then are unable to take the class please let me know so I can offer your spot to someone else.


Hopefully by next summer we will be back to normal.


Thanks, hope to see you soon.


Janice

Artist Tip:
Cleaning Brushes:   Wipe out as much paint as you can before cleaning the brushes in thinner.  For Fan brushes use the knife and scrape the paint on to your palette.   This will keep the thinner cleaner and you'll be able to use the thinner longer before changing it.  
If you prefer a less toxic method you can clean brushes in baby or mineral oil.  However, this can only be done after you've finished painting as the oil needs time to drain from the brush. You'll need at least 2 of each brush to use while you paint.   One for light colors and one for dark colors.  Clean the brush in a pail with baby or mineral oil and a screen in the bottom just as you do when using thinner except leave the brush beating step out. It will be messy but you'll need to squeeze the oil out of the brush with paper towels.   You may need to repeat the process a couple of times.  After you've gotten as much paint and oil out as you can place the brushes straight up with bristels down to dry overnight.
