Canvas Academy

by Kari Lynn M.

Celebrate the marvelous world of “Wicked” with this themed painting class featuring an original “movie poster” design!

With this class, you’ll not only get the chance to create a beautiful pink and green witch’s hat, but you’ll also learn some new painting skills (for example, there’s a “bonus” section at the end of class in which we make watercolor paint FROM our leftover acrylic paints).

Some materials you will need to join in with this class include:

  • A pencil and a straightedge (like a ruler, book, etc.)
  • One roundhead paint brush (the size doesn’t matter!)
  • Something to mix paints with (such as paint spatulas, popsicle sticks, even a butter knife)
  • A painting surface, like painting paper or a canvas
  • A water cup and towel or napkin (for brush cleaning)
  • Acrylic paints in these colors:
    • White –Red (in any shade)
    • Blue (in any shade)
    • Yellow (in any shade)

This class allows you to learn at your own pace, and you can totally pause the video or rewind at any time. All ages and levels of painters are invited to join, whether you’re a young beginner or an advancing artist!
