CLASS ON DEMAND: OSTOBER Painting an Os Bentwood Box
Join Kim in this 2-session course where we will take a modern approach to the Os style using bright colors on a white background to create a small bentwood box. Best of all, you don’t need to worry about painting on a white background because we will be using multi-surface paint that makes it easier to wipe off any little “mishaps” that might occur.
There will also be a recording of some preparations that should be done before the first class so we can start painting our design right away. This includes backgrounding and painting the gold designs on the top and sides of the box.
The course will be taught in oils but acrylic painters with experience in their medium are welcome to attend.
