In this 1 day workshop we will be painting a Sunflower composition in Acrylics.

Workshop Plan:

This painting can be completed on a stretched canvas size 20”x24” or you choice of size.

It is preferable to have your canvas textured before the workshop. If you cannot add texture, it really is no problem. It’s a personal preference. Please do not add HEAVY texture with tons of ridges, just mild works better, and easier on your brush!

To see how I texture my canvas, and I do this for all my acrylic paintings on canvas please watch:
