Does the idea of learning to paint, getting all those supplies and figuring out what to paint seem overwhelming? Maybe you don’t know where to start and aren’t sure you want to invest in lots of paint supplies. Perhaps you’d like to hone in on your painting style? Or maybe you’re all over the map creatively and want to learn how to simplify and be more loose in your creating? Or you could be struggling with a lack of cohesion in your paintings, like they just don’t seem unified.

Even if you’re an experienced artist, limiting your supplies this way will really stretch you and help you grow in unexpected ways. We will explore all the possibilities of marks made with just one brush! You might also be in a creative rut or slump and not sure how to get out. These are all the reasons this class is for you!

If you think painting requires lots of expensive supplies, years of art school and you struggle with inspiration sources then this class will help you get past those blocks! You will be amazed at the paintings we can create using only one brush and 3 colors (plus white of course). Learning to play/create with limits like this helps us grow in unexpected ways.

In this class we paint 7 paintings with only one brush and three colors. I show you 7 different combinations of 3 colors (and a variety of paint types and brands) so you get a sense of what’s possible. We use the color wheel to help us select colors that won’t make mud. We paint a couple of florals, one loose and one bouquet, a simple landscape, a Matisse portrait, an abstract inspired by my recent trip to Italy, a bright, happy abstract and a still life/abstract with pots. A wide variety of subjects and styles so you can experience a wide range of possibilities.

What you’ll get in this class:

Learn how to gather inspiration for a variety of subjects, hint: we’ll even use a kitchen cookware catalog!
Learn how to use the color wheel and learn about triadic colors and how to make the best choices if you are only selecting three colors.
Learn the three major types of brushes and they can do.
