Happy Holidays Everyone,

 

The January Schedule is below. I will be away the month of February and will resume classes in March. I have scheduled a couple of classes in March but there will be more coming.

 

I changed the times to 9:00 am - 1:00 pm with a short break. However, the 1:00 pm end time will vary. We may get done earlier or later depending on the painting and pace of the class. I will never rush to make sure we end exactly on time so be prepared to stay a little longer if need be.

Unfortunately, because of the social distancing and mask mandate, I only able to have 4 students at a time. 

 

Given the limited class size I ask that if you're unable to attend please let me know as soon as possible so I can release your spot to someone else.

When you come to class please wear a mask. We will have a break during class so bring a snack. I have coffee and tea.

Stay safe, stay well, wear a mask and have a Happy Holiday!!

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.  It will Sign up on our FACEBOOK page  :) https://www.facebook.com/PaintingBug/
