Downstreet: A Painting Workshop with Cynthia Rosen for Advanced Beginners and up!

In this painting workshop, we will be simplifying a complex image by determining what is important. We will discuss how to pinpoint what is necessary, and how to use perspective to push the sense of space.

Recommended Supplies:
Canvas, panel or heavy watercolor paper (if using water-based medium) - suggested sizes: 11x14, 12x16, square if you want, or 16x20 optional

Suggested paint colors for oils, acrylics, gouache:
Titanium white, prussian blue or thalo blue, purple dioxizine, cobalt blue or ultramarine, alizarin permanent, cadmium red medium, cad orange, lemon yellow or cad yellow light

Note: If using acrylics, Cynthia suggests having some gesso on hand if your brand of white is not very opaque
