Buying Paint? Things to know about series and colour.

There can be a lot of mystery when you go to purchase paints, especially if it’s your first time buying a particular medium.

Just to start with, when you look at the wall of paint at your local art supply shop you’ll see many different brands. Then within each brand you’ll find different series numbers, and sometimes even different series numbers within what looks to be the same colour.

So what do these paint series numbers mean?

The short and simple answer is that the lower the series number (”Series 1″ for example) the cheaper the paint will be. As the number goes higher, so will the price.

Keeping up with Attic…

What has been happening?

Attic on a Sunday afternoon is now bustling. All sorts of things go on……. I will leave it at that!!!

We have some lovely models coming in just now. Leyre and the two Lisas, thank you for having the patience to sit for us. The Thursday morning and evening classes will happen regardless of the numbers.  The importance of figure drawing cannot be overrated, it is the cornerstone of art training. The human figure offers every challenge one could require – line, tone, perspective, and composition.

Watercolour classes for all ages.

Miss Ireynas watercolopur class for girls produced some wonderful results this afternoon. The subject was flowers and butterflies…of course.

The paintings are gorgeous. well done girls.

Oil Painting in a Secret Garden

This Friday, Attic has a special treat for it’s beginner’s oil painting class…We’ll be packing up our easels and taking the show down the road to The Secret Garden cafe.

With it’s rustic charm and lush overgrown garden The Secret Garden is the perfect place to create. Everywhere you turn, there’s something to see. Banana trees, papaya trees, morning glory flowers, heliconias (crab claw flowers), and so much more (I just don’t know what they’re all called).

Come and join us for some fresh air and inspiration! We’ll be meeting at Attics Studios at 10am and taking it from there.
