Please join Pam Bleakney for her newest class at OMAM! This class is designed for students who have previously taken Pam's Beginning, Beginning Watercolor class, or those with some watercolor experience. Students will be introduced to various mediums to use in combination with watercolor, including pencil drawing and blending, pastels, ink, and Prismacolor pencils.

The lessons in this series include painting baby rabbits, cats and dogs, a deer, a mouse, a donkey, a bird, a turtle and a frog. These lessons are from the book, “Draw and Paint Super Cute Animals” by Jane Maday. You will be encouraged to use your sketchpad because there is a fair amount of drawing during this class, but as usual Pam will have her light box available for tracing.

Materials paid for in your class registration fee: “Draw and Paint Super Cute Animals” book by Jane Maday, hardcover sketchbook of 8” x 8” watercolor paper, watercolor palette with paint. If you are taking this class as a follow-up to Pam’s previous class or already have paints please tell the Museum.

Students will need to bring the following supplies:

• Prismacolor pencils:

  • Dark Brown, Goldenrod, Dark Umber, Sienna Brown, blender pencil (some will also be available to share if you don’t have these colors).

• 2H and 2B graphite pencils
• Kneaded eraser
• Optional: cheap tracing paper or transfer paper, Q-tips, 005 Micron pen, white pen for whiskers

Registration will close when class is full.
