Seascape
Original design by Niki McBride

Pre-Class Instruction:
We will be doing a seascape, so those of you that have an easel may want to bring it, this kind of painting is much easier standing working on a vertical surface.

Palette: 
Tube Acrylics
White, Cobalt Blue, Payne’s Grey, Thalo Blue, Thalo Green, Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna, Raw Sienna, Cadmium Yellow Medium and Thalo Yellow Green (or a light yellow green).

Brushes & Special Supplies:
1” or 2” soft blending brush, (I use a 2” Bob Ross blender), 3/4 angle or flat, 1/4” angle, 1” natural bristle brush, a liner brush (your choice), 1/4 filbert (or cat’s tongue) and an inexpensive natural bristle brush (bought at the hardware store) for wetting your canvas.
A water container, spray bottle for water (light mist), palette knife for mixing, and a small palette knife for making sharp edges. Also a Stay-Wet paper palette, with a sponge under it for keeping your paint wet and an old towel. Paper towels.
I will bring a few extra brushes for those that don’t have them.

Surface Size, Type and Prep:
A stretch canvas, your choice: slower painter use an 8x10; medium painter, use an 11x14, a faster painter 16x20.I will be working on a 16x20 for easy viewing. There is no prep needed if you are using a pre-primed canvas, however the finer surface the canvas is the better.
