Surfaces: Bring a variety of sizes of canvas or linen panels up to 14″ x 18″. Use sizes you are most comfortable with. If you haven’t been painting long, you may want to use smaller sizes to work on color studies.

Extras:

• A good size container to clean your brushes and a small cup for your medium
• A palette
• Palette knife and/or scraper to clean your palette and a roll of paper towels

Photos: Bring some of your favorite photos to work from. I have great photos of landscapes, seascapes, boats, and figures from all over the world that you are also welcome to use!

Please don’t get dissuaded by the list of supplies—most students probably have a lot of the materials already. Art supplies have become more expensive, but try not to get the cheapest panels and paints as they can often be more frustrating and discouraging to use. Just do the best you can. You may want to get your supplies after the first week’s session so you can decide what you think will work best for you.

Bring a good sense of humor—we will work hard and have a good time doing it!
