“Fun with Feathers!” Paint-Along with Rita Kirkman, on Zoom
Who! Who!… wants to paint this Screech Owl?
$25
Dive in to all these fab feather textures on Saturday, Nov 19, 2022, at 1pm Central Time
For this owl, Rita will be going back to her early years and using mostly hard pastels and pastel pencils on a toned sanded paper, but you can use the medium of your choice. She’s had some attendees enjoy use oil, acrylic, and even watercolor with her paint-alongs. (You can even do her usual warm underpainting if you’re familiar with that!) This paint-along will focus on feather textures in a variety of tones and lines.
Register early to have time to prep your drawing. Rita will send you the Zoom invitation, the reference photo, a suggested materials list, and even a line drawing that you can use to transfer to your board or paper in case you don’t have time to freehand your drawing. No drawing skills required!
The paint-along will start at 1pm Central Time and will last about 2 hours.
(PS: Registration includes a link to the video which will be ready just a few days later! So if you must skip out early, or come in late, no worries!)
