Dries Quickly

When working with paint…Take only what you need right now. A custom color should be mixed/used in the same
day.
Work quickly, but efficiently.
Work neatly.
Watch your time!
To save a custom color… Collect the color and store it in a covered paint
palette with a damp paper towel inside.
If leaving it over the weekend, first mix in some drying retarder to slow down the drying process.
Types of Paint Brushes
Flat Brush
Filbert Brush
Bright Brush
Round Brush
Brushes are measured in even numbers: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc.
How to Clean a Brush Hold the brushes under running water,
and work the bristles between your fingers until the water runs clean.
It should only take about one minute!
We do NOT…Use soap.Shake brushes under the running
water.Drag brushes against the bottom of
the sink.Leave dirty brushes for someone
else to clean.
This is a shared studio…A shared studio space is where multiple
artists work together.
Sharing space means being considerate of each other, cleaning up after yourself, and treating other’s work as if it were your own.
A shared studio space = Shared studio grade.
Illustration Board Very thick, layered, compressed paper. Has a soft, pressure-sensitive surface. Will hold pencil, ink, paint, colored
pencil. Will buckle, bend, or peel with too much
water. Will not wrinkle or tear. Easy to work on and frame.
Palette Paper Is disposable Allows you to mix large amounts of custom
colors. Keeps your paint hydrated. Is NOT wax or parchment paper, and should
always be shiny side up!
When you begin painting…
1. Background – Solid color. (Here: Red)
2. Add local color to your figure. (Here: Black)
3. Go back to the background and add details. (Here: Black blobs)
1. Go back onto the figure and add high and low lights using painterly strokes. (Here: blues and whites)
1. Add the last details on your figure. (Here: eyes, mouth, teeth, etc.)
Remember…Plan ahead and work in stages!
Work quickly and efficiently!
Work neatly, and be considerate of your classmates!
Put forth your best effort!
