Dark Naturalism Painting Class at Leaf & Quiet - Sept. 18th

$25.00

✶ Thursday September 18th from 6pm - 8pm(ish) ✶

In this two hour art class we will go over how to approach painting a botanical subject on a black background with acrylic paint. This will be a cozy guided art session that will include traditional scientific illustration techniques, how to paint light on top of dark, color theory and the benefits of dark negative space when portraying an organic subject. Students will use plants from the store as references as well as other foraged specimen from the local forest. This class will be beginner oriented but all skill levels are welcome to attend. By the end of the class you will go home with a finished roughly 5 x 7 inch dark naturalism illustration of your own.

All art supplies will be provided including pre-painted black watercolor paper, paint, brushes, glass palettes and water but please feel free to bring your own nature journal, sketchbook, preferred supplies or specimen from your own adventure.
