The workshops are designed for islanders and visitors alike who are ready to bring joyful art and sunshine into their lives. Sissi Janku will brighten your hearts and homes with a semi-abstract look at Florida’s birds this season.
Be brave and join her on a magical trip into the amazing world of abstraction. Bring your canvas and paints to discover how a simple rooster or spoonbill takes on all the colors of the kaleidoscope and turns them into a cubistic painting. Journey into a mix of abstraction and realism and a harmonious play of bright colors.
“The seed holds a very great secret – it never gets old. It is the eternal yes to life.”
Painting classes include step-by-step instructions with tips for: – abstract art for beginners – complimentary colors – color-mixing – application of paints in different styles and techniques.
Student Supply list:
Acrylic Paint
If you have painted with acrylics before, bring your acrylic paints.
For beginners I recommend “craftsmart” from Michaels. They are budget friendly and come in a 16-color value set. Some “craft acrylics” are not as light-fast as professional artist paints. You can use a non-yellowing varnish like “mod podge” or “polyacrylic” to make your artwork lightfast after it is thoroughly dry.
Brushes
A mixture of sizes, at least three or four brushes ranging from 3/16 to 1” in width.
Instructor will bring extra for everyone.
1 black sharpie
1 pink eraser
Canvases
2 canvases 12"x16”
