Children Playing in Water Barrel, New Painting for our Painting Classes
This painting is inspired by the innocent curiosity of children. A brother and sister playing with the water falling into a barrel, wondering where it goes and what else is inside the wood barrel.
This painting was created for the painting classes with three easy steps:
- Draw and paint the under paint
- Paint the background, barrel, bricks, trees and flowers
- Paint the children
Supply:
This painting can be done in 2 medias, Oil Paintings and Acrylics.
Acrylics:
There are many brands of acrylic paintings that I have tested but the one that I like the most is:
SOHO, Urban Artistic Acrylic: Excellent paintings, sold at more reasonable price by Jerry’s Arterama. 3060 Wake Forest Road, Raleigh, NC 27609. (919) 876-6610
Oil Paintings:
You can buy them at Michael’s, ACMoore, but again the most affordable ones are at Jerry’s Arterama and their brand is LUKAS.

Brushes, multi-purpose, polyvalent. There is a 10pc “Artist’s Loft” that provides most of the brushes for the beginning or the Pro Stroke-Power Creative Mark of Jerry’s Arterama.
For Oil paintings, the best media is Refined Linseed Oil with Refined Turpentine. To clean the brushes Turpernoi. Glass container to mix media. I have containers in the studio.
Black Sharie permanent market ultra fine.
Easel (a simple table metal easel is fine).
Paper towel.
Plastic plate to mix colors or a Paper Palette. SOHO has a very reasonable paper palette at Jerry’s Arterama.
