In this class, I am going to be sharing some new art products to play with. Sometimes I want to do a class just to share new supplies with you. The Fluid Graphite and the graphite sticks are just such products! One of our lovely students shared the fluid graphite with me and I knew I had to check it out since I am currently obsessed with graphite in my art and supplies.
When you get a new art supply to play with, I encourage you to immediately open it up and start experimenting with it. In class, we’ll do some testing to see how these work, then we’ll create some small abstracts to really give them a go. When I get new supplies I love to revisit my favorite projects and techniques so I don’t get stuck looking at a white paper and freeze up not knowing what to create.
This class is for you if:
- You love learning new techniques for your art
- You are interested in checking out some new art products to create your abstracts with
- You love watching how others approach their art practice
- You love experimenting with your art supplies
Supplies:
These are the supplies I’ll be using in class… definitely get creative and experiment if you have some other supplies or ideas that come to you as you go through the class.
- Canson xl cold press 140lb watercolor paper – any paper you like would work for experimenting with these supplies.
- Kuretake fluid graphite
- I’m experimenting with the Dainayw water soluble graphite sticks – there are several brands out there you could experiment with
- Watercolor brush – I’m using the Raphael soft aqua brush in size 0
- Any tube watercolor if you want to experiment with mixing colors with the fluid graphite as I do in class.
- Palette knife
