This is a portion of the online class, Paint Your Way Through Art History.

Each class begins with a review of student work from the previous lessons, and some chatting about the week and how everyone is doing. 

​

We have a history lesson about the worldview and history related to the art, which you can watch in the first video below.

​

Then, I'll teach a painting or drawing skill and students practice with me. Sometimes this is drawing or using a fine tip pen or some other technique. In this class, we do the first layer of the painting.

​

Finally, we paint our masterpiece...in this lesson that was painting waterlilies!

​

If you'd like to paint along, you'll need acrylic paint in blue, magenta, yellow, and white and something to paint on: canvas or paper. If you use paper, use a heavy weight paper and coat it with a thin layer of gesso before you start. In the class, we use a Strathmore Mixed Media Art Journal, which we fill entirely by the end of the year making an amazing art history book and portfolio piece.
