Wendy Brightbill – Playing Big Botanical

Proof of item:

Are you ready to PLAY BIG? Every year I do a mini course where I create some large pieces and walk you through my process. This year I wanted to do a big graphic bloom. Join me as I show you the start to finish process of creating this larger than life floral painting. Playing Big has always been about stretching creative boundaries. And this course is no different. Tons of practical tips for making your piece successful!!! Over 3 hours of video content.

• Planning out your piece
• Suggestions for your photo reference
• Blending techniques
• Palette knife painting
• Color tips
• Start to finish instructions

Materials and Supplies:

Large artist board or canvas (I am using a 30 by 40 cradled artist board from Blick’s)

Photo reference (blown up and printed on an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper)

Pencil

Ruler- T-square works the best

Acrylic paint

Large paintbrush

Spray water bottle

Chalk pastels

Oil pastels/ paint stick (optional)

Oil paint

Non-oil option- light molding paste

*Note: I will be using oil paints in this course for my palette knife work. But I also show you how to use an alternative to oils with light molding paste. YOU DO NOT NEED to use oils in this course.
