Easel:

Canvas/Primed Panels and Drawing Pad:
12x16 maximum but preferably
8x10’s and 9x12
Brushes:
Everyone has an array of brushes. Bring them all to the workshop
so we can look them over to see which you should use. I generally only use 4
in a painting. However, there are times when I need to reach for a special brush
for a special effect I want to create. Also good to have 2 of your primary
brushes so you don’t have to clean it so often. Example; a # 8 flat for sky work
only and one for ground work only.
For the purposes of the
workshop, here’s a basic list of brushes. I use a combination of bristle and
synthetic. As you proceed in painting you’ll try many different brushes and
brands. Often the most expensive are not the best. What I list below are some I
use. There are many options and you go for others if you like. Please have app. two sharp edged brushed-one small and one medium.
Hog Bristle Flats 4,6,8,10 Masters Touch or comparable-not very expensive and 50% off at Hobby Lobby quite often. Check their weekly ad.
Synthetics -

Palette:
Any type palette is fine but let’s
avoid paper palettes and aluminum foil.
Other items:Paper towels, trash bags, small mixing cups, 2 cups for your Gamsol
brush cleaner, bug spray, sun screen, hat, rag or two.
If in doubt just bring what you have-I have a variety of items I can help out with.
