Painting Group

A free art group for those interested in painting. We meet every Thursday night during the school term. All skill levels are welcome.

The primary focus will be on acrylic painting, however water-soluble oils, watercolours and drawing mediums can be used. Please do not bring anything that produces fumes.

You will need to bring your own supplies and materials. If you are not sure what you might need, we would suggest starting with:

Acrylic paints (student grade, if beginner):

• red (warm/cold)
• blue (warm/cold)
• yellow (warm/cold)
• white
• black

A set of flat and round acrylic brushes from fine to large.

A painting palette

Water jar

A canvas or paper that can be used with acrylic paints

An apron

A pencil & erasor

A pad of drawing paper

The Riot Art online store often has sales and afforable prices if you need to find anything: https://riot.com.au/

otherwise you can go to your local art store to pick up these supplies.
