Save that Charter with StormMaker HL Carith
Help! I painted a charter and I hate it! Or someone left an unfinished charter on my doorstep. Or I picked a paint that is sticky. What to do when a charter was munched by a dog, crushed in the mail, or it somehow got paint, or food/drink splattered on it!
This class will focus on techniques for determining if your charter can be saved and why we bother to save them. Ways to keep from going awry in the first place. We will discuss the ethics of making changes to someone else’s art. Prepare to go over a little bit of everything such as, getting your space ready for painting, color choices, paint techniques, how to make repairs, finding resources to use for inspiration, painting one color over another, very basic white lining and shading. Also, the importance of returning charters (finished or not) in a timely manner. This course is suitable for anyone from a brand new painter all the way to the experienced scribe.
No supplies necessary.
Class handout is $2, you will have the option of paying $5 extra and going home with a pallet loaded with a little bit of six paint colors, a sable brush, and an eye dropper.
