PLEASE BRING:
• Drawing materials i.e charcoal, graphite sticks or pencils (2B, 4B, 6B).
• At least 20 sheets of paper (some good quality, preferably 10 sheets). ALL sheets MUST be primed with WHITE gesso prior to coming. If paper is less than 200-300gsm, it is best to apply 2-3 coats of gesso. DO NOT paint the paper with coloured gesso.
• Gesso – white and black.
• What you would normally use to paint – acrylic, oils or both, paint brushes.
• 10 small canvasses or boards already primed; gesso if working in acrylics OR oil-based primer if you are working in oils.
• Mediums – eg gel medium for acrylics or oil mediums. I have both you can use if you run out.
• Apron, turps, anti-dandruff shampoo (this is good for washing hands/clean-up if working in oils).
• Boxes to take wet paintings home in. One box per painting. This is more applicable for oil paintings than acrylics which tend to dry quickly.
• Drop sheet for the car
• Hat and sunscreen
• Closed shoes – this is a must!
• Folding chair
• Folding table
• Water bottle
• You may also wish to bring an unfinished work that you may be struggling with.
