REBECCA OF ARTY BRUSH STROKES

Arty Adventures with Rebecca of Arty Brush Strokes PM

Rebecca is the creator of Arty Brush Cakes.

ABC’s are mini rainbow cakes that allow you to high-lite, shadow and blend with a single stroke!

This class is perfect for the new painter or the painter that’s new to the ABC line of one-stoke paints.

You’ve seen these little beauties in use, and you’ve always wondered how the artist does THAT!

Well now its time for you to find out how to use these little gems for yourself!

By attending this pre-day class, your painting will go from labored and slow, to dazzling FAST!

We’ll start out at a measured pace, so everyone is comfortable with this unique ‘sponge-free’ technique, making sure all artists have the basics of loading, and the fundamental flat brush strokes, paying particular attention to where our high and low lights are created within the single stroke and resulting design.

Then we move on to the ‘money maker’ section…here you will learn how you can adapt these principles and techniques to many of your existing designs… but, do them at a fraction of the time!

Roses and foliage, flames, princess masks and glamorous eye designs – all in the flick of the wrist!!

Bring a split cake, 3/4 inch flat brush, #12 flat brush
