Liven up your phone cases, notebooks, and the like with your own custom artwork!

As an artist, Adam Palmeter has always loved painting on unconventional canvases and everyday objects to jazz up boring surfaces all around him. In this 45-minute class—recorded using Zoom and featuring participation from the Skillshare community—he’ll share everything you need to know to paint your own stuff.

You’ll start with a walk through of the materials you need to paint on unusual surfaces, and some inspiration for all the different things you could liven up with your own art. Then, you’ll warm up your painting muscles by practicing Adam’s unique brushstroke technique that can be used to create mesmerizing patterns on all manner of surfaces. Finally, you'll follow along as Adam paints his iPad cover, giving you insight into how he approaches composition on everyday surfaces—and hopefully inspiring you to create your own piece of usable artwork!

Great for artists of any level who are looking for a unique project, you’ll walk away with some new inspiration—and hopefully an old piece of stuff made new again!
