Required supplies: I will provide a canvas panel that I have toned a mid tone flesh color. There is also tracing paper for each student. If you do not draw, use this to transfer your face you want to paint onto the canvas panel before the class. If you draw really well, use burnt sienna thinned with turpenoid to draw right on the canvas panel. If you make a drawing error, use a rag & turpenoid & erase the mistake. The canvas panels & tracing paper are under the sign up sheet at the Gallery.
