What You Will Need to Start Painting

What You Will Need to Start Painting

What I Supply:

 

Mostly, everything you will need except painting brushes and motivation.  You are paying a materials cost anyway, so as a part of the class I am providing the complete set-up, including powder pigments, easels, pallets, the panels to paint on, mixing jars, cleaning supplies, and a full selection of file photos pertaining to the current project.

 

 

 

     A typical setup


 

What you will need:

 

A good complement of quality water color brushes, including but not limited to:

  1. Rounds (0 , 1 , 2 , 4 or 5, and a selection of larger brushes numbers 6 through whatever you like).
  2. Flats, running from 1/2" on up.
  3. pencils and erasers.

(If we are working on egg tempera as watercolor, you will need a watercolor artists tablet.)

 

For the true beginner, I do have a selection of my own brushes that I can loan out, as long as I get them back at the end of the class. However, it is much advised that you provide as many brushes as you can, even if you have to buy a few things before you arrive.  Be cautioned, however: oil or acrylic brushes are too stiff for egg tempera paint in most cases.
