Painting Panels

These ready-to-paint aluminum panels are the same surfaces used in my classes and painting kits as well as my professional gallery paintings.

I like these better than canvas because:

I actually prefer them over traditional canvas because they are:

  • Ready to paint. No sanding. No gesso. No prep work.

  • Completely rigid. No sagging, stretching, or bouncing while you paint.

  • Smooth surface ideal for detailed brushwork and realistic painting.

  • Easy to store. They take up less space than stretched canvas.

  • No re-stretching. Ever.

  • Archival and built to last.

Whether you’re painting your very first sunflower or your fiftieth masterpiece, these panels provide a professional painting surface that lets you focus on the fun part.

Now quit reading and go make something beautiful.

OPTIONAL SHORT CUT COLORS

PRB - Pale Rose Blush**
CGP - Cadmium Green Pale
BU - Burnt Umber
CS - Cadmium Scarlet**
RT - Radiant Turquoise
RB - Radiant Blue**

I’ll teach this class using the short cut colors. I will also teach you how to mix these shortcut colors with the standard student colors. These ready-made colors save mixing time and, in some cases, give you a little more vibrancy. If you don’t own them, no worries. We’ll mix very close equivalents together.

** Highly recommended to keep you from pulling your hair out.

PREREQUISITES

This is not a beginner paint-mixing class. To get the most from Color Interrogation, you should come in with: 
1. Strong palette knife skills. We will not touch a brush in this course. Your brushes are officially unemployed for this course.
Watch the video here.

2. A clear understanding of value, including recognizing lighter and darker relationships in a reference. Recommended: Pawrole Violation before taking this course. It isn’t required, but it will give you a solid foundation in seeing and controlling value before we start interrogating color.
