Hey there, fellow painters!

This a quick and simple painting class that will take you from sketch to finish… in creating a realistic orange and lemon, side by side. Follow along with your own acrylic paints (you only need a few colors), and learn how to make highlights and lowlights as we go along—because THAT’s the key to making your paintings look real!

Some materials you will need to take this class include:

  • A pencil
  • One paintbrush
  • Something to mix paints with (such as paint spatulas, popsicle sticks, even a butter knife)
  • Something to mix paints on (like a palette or a paper plate)
  • A water cup and towel or napkin (for brush cleaning)
  • Acrylic paints in colors:
    • Red
    • Blue
    • Yellow
    • White
    • Raw Umber
