April 6, 20 and 27 - No class April 13th - Northshore School District Spring Break

This class is always a favorite as we paint our favorite animals on silk.

You can see examples of previous classes here: https://picketfenceartstudio.blog/2016/12/02/elementary-art-silk-paintings/

and here:

https://picketfenceartstudio.blog/2018/05/06/elementary-silk-paintings/

We will start by drawing our designs on paper. We then trace this onto silk. The silk is stretched onto frames, and we outline the drawings with a resist that holds the paint in our designs. The fun part is applying the paint and watching it flow. The paintings are steam set, and then we will mount them on canvas so you can enjoy them at home.

Thursdays, 6:30 - 8:15 pm

This class is always a favorite!  Painting on silk is a fun way to express your creativity while creating really vibrant pieces of art.
