In this course, students will receive 6+ hours of total live instruction via Zoom over three weeks, Sunday nights 4-6PM MST starting October 29th and November 12th, 2023.

Students will paint an 8 pc that includes 3 large Dona Christmas Crackpot Elves, Three trees (with holes) and 2 fence sections alongside the instructor in real time and will learn the drybrushing technique using acrylic paints, shading/highlighting/mixing pastels, and how adding fine lines and details can dramatically increase the resale value of your hand painted art and how to paint eyes.

The price of this class is for instruction only. The bisque is purchased separately and is available from Elizabeth Riser at Pour Girl Bisque It’s on Facebook. All 8 pieces are cleaned to perfection, fired and packed perfectly for you. The bisque will also include a  3 piece light kit and garland. You'll need to reach out to her via email or phone, here is her contact info. https://33interiors.ecrater.com/contact.php

Before, during and after the course, each student will have unlimited access to the instructor via email, Facebook, phone or video chat for any issues, questions or concerns that may arise. Supplies are the student's responsibility and the list of brushes and paints will be posted approx. 2-3 weeks prior to the first class. Chances are you'll have similar brushes in your paint arsenal already.  Pre-course work will include base coating the entire set before the first class and instructions and photos will be provided to students 2-3 weeks prior to the first class.

Links to the brushes used most in class, as well as where to purchase PanPastels are available in the shop section of the website. You can use any pastels you have in this class, you're learning the technique, so stick pastels will work too. However, if you would like the PanPastels, the 20ct is the set that we use most in classes. Students will learn how to mix pastel and/or paint colors as well.

All instructions and Zoom information is posted on the Spaces by Wix app and can be downloaded in your App Store. In the event that you are unable to attend the live class, all sessions are recorded for playback for paying students only. Each week during the course, approximately 24-48hrs prior to the live class, you will receive login information for the Zoom online platform.
