The wet-on-wet method works by applying a medium to a canvas prior to painting.
This allows paints to be moved and blended right on the canvas without adding additional medium.
Paintings are completed in one session.
This method is very forgiving.
There are no prerequisites for painting classes.
No experience or "talent" is required, just a desire to paint.
Be gentle with yourself concerning your expectations.
A first time painter will produce a simple, beautiful painting, while a painter with some experience will have a more detailed approach.
As with any recreational hobby you will get better with time and practice.
Have fun and keep painting.
Don't let yourself become overwhelmed with all the information that's available.
Start simple.
As for supplies you might consider renting for the first few paintings. If so contact me to make arrangements.
If you decide to purchase your supplies start with the basics and add as the need arises.
The wet-on-wet method requires special paints, mediums and brushes.
