PSAA Presents: Paint Night

Описание: Get ready for a cozy and creative evening with the Penn State Alumni Association!

Grab your brushes and join us for another PSAA Presents: Paint Night with State College artist Jackie Gianico. This session features a fall-inspired painting of Penn State’s iconic Allen Street Gates, brought to life with the rich, warm colors of autumn.

Whether you’re a seasoned artist or haven’t touched a paintbrush since your Gen Ed art class, all Penn Staters are welcome to join in the fun.

We can’t wait to paint and celebrate the season with you—check below for the materials list and more details about our host.

You will need to purchase your own supplies for this virtual Paint Night. Here is the full list of supplies you will need:

-Brushes: Our artist recommends brushes that are flat and angled. You will need one brush that is 1/2 or 3/4 inch and one brush that is 1/4 inch.

-Acrylic Color Paint Set: For first time painters our artist recommends acrylic or craft acrylic for an affordable option. You will need to have black, white, yellow, red and blue for the event. You may also want to have green available if you don't want to mix your own.

-11 x 14 Canvas is the recommended size, but 8x10 or 12x16 also works well.

-A Plate to mix the paint colors on.

-A Cup of water to clean your brushes.

-Paper Towels

Our Artist recommends you paint on a flat surface, because the ledge of the easel can get in the way of painting the very bottom of the canvas. If you prefer to use an Easel that is also fine.

Jackie has been living in State College since 2009, and she teaches English as a second language at the Intensive English Communication Program at Penn State.

She began teaching sip-and-paint style events in 2015 after a friend encouraged her. Jackie is a self-taught acrylic painter but will tell you Bob Ross taught her everything she knows.
