Is the weather keeping you inside this week? Is it blazing hot out, downpouring, or is there a blizzard outside? Grab some canvas and some paint and come paint some chickens with me!

For this class, we will paint a portrait of three young chickens in acrylic. For this project you will need:

• a canvas, I will be using a round stretched canvas. Any size is fine, but I will be working small (similar in size to a 6×8″ canvas)
• acrylic paint in these colors
  • Yellow Ocher
  • Cadmium Yellow Hue
  • Phthalo Blue
  • Brilliant Red
  • Titanium White
  • Paynes Gray
  • Ivory Black
  • You may also find a green and a brown (burnt umber) helpful
• Brushes in various sizes, large flat, small round, medium-small filbert, and a small detail brush
• water
• rag
• reference photo (attached)

Helpful but not necessary: 

• Easel
• additional brushes
• brush soap
