November schedule (Patreon)
Content
Hi everyone! I can't believe October is almost over and after Friday, we will have completed 86 paintings this year. Masking fluid month has been...fun for some of us haha, and I loved every time we removed the masking fluid for the reveal. Below is the schedule and topic theme for the month of November. As a reminder, this year the 100 tiny paintings will revolve around a new technique each month, keeping the same Tuesday/Friday schedule so that we end up with 8-9 paintings per month and 100 by the end of the year.
The theme for November: Mixing watercolor with gouache
(a quick note: I will be using white gouache by winsor and newton to create different colors mixing with watercolor for this month's techniques. You can use more gouache or white watercolor if you prefer)
Sunday November 1st: live class 9 AM Arizona time
The link to this class will be posted here on patreon Sunday morning, the day of the live class, and will be recorded and saved for anyone who can't make it.
This live class will deep dive and cover the basics of this month's technique: Mixing watercolor with gouache. How to use it, how to mix your watercolor with it and when to use it versus keeping the white or light areas of your paper. We'll also cover exercises you can practice in your sketchbook and "homework" to help you improve this technique in stress free ways before you start on a painting.
Tuesday/Friday tiny paintings: Each Tuesday and Friday this month a tiny painting will be posted. The tiny painting videos include full video instructions, color mixing and reference photos and sketch outlines when applicable.
End of month live class: Tuesday November 24th @ 11 AM Arizona time
At the end of the month we will paint a picture together from a reference photo. This class is also recorded and saved so you can watch back at any time. We will be voting on and choosing together a picture that uses a lot of the gouache mixing techniques we have gone over this past month. This will help us solidify what we've learned into something bigger as we walk through how to paint a piece from start to finish, live.
I can't wait to paint with you this month!
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
