Art Supplies Students Should Bring to Class:
• Bring your ideas for your paintings to the first class! If you have supplies, great! I will have specific supply lists available and will discuss options available if you have not painted before. If you prefer, you may contact me and we can discuss basic items to get you started.
• Stretched canvas, canvas board or canvas paper that has some texture (tooth). Size should be 9”x12” to no larger than 16”x20”.
• Pencils (Common #2 pencils will work just fine).
Painting Supplies and equipment (If you do not presently own the items below you may wish to delay getting them until after the first session when you can make a more informed selection.)
• Oil Paints or Acrylic Paints (Studio size tubes are preferred)
• Appropriate thinners and cleanup materials for the painting medium
• Brushes (Some large and some small artists brushes will be needed. House painters 1” to 3” brushes can be handy if you already have them.)
• At least one palette knife (There is a difference between a palette knife and a painting knife.)
• One palette (A pane of glass, 8” x 10” or larger, with the edges taped works well.) You can also use aluminum foil or Styrofoam plates. Palette pads are also available.
• Suitable painting surfaces (You may wait until after the first session to acquire this material. We will discuss in-depth the options available.)
