What do you bring??


It is not necessary to bring any talent
but it will be most helpful to bring lots of playfulness 
and a willingness to take risks!  

Below is a suggested list of materials that you will want to collect over time, if you are a beginner.  If you have your own supplies, bring them along.  If you don't have brushes, paints, or canvases, there will be a $15 charge to supply all you need for the day.





Acrylic Workshop--  Suggested Materials List

Canvases:  You may be able to start 2 paintings, so you could bring 2 stretched canvases that are at least 12 X 12.  I prefer the deeper gallery ones, but the half inch ones will do.  (You don’t want ones with staples on the sides.  They would have to be framed.)  I have some canvases available too, but just the half inch ones.

Paint:  Any kind is fine.  There are so many colours to choose from, that whatever you bring is probably fine.  These are the ones I seem to use.  If you can’t find the same colour, ask for help to get one that is similar.  I keep a supply ready of all of these if needed.

These are the colours I use the most:
Titanium White
Black
Burnt Sienna
Ultramarine Blue
Pthalo blue
Sap green
Pthalo green
Cadmium Red Medium
Orange, and/or Cadmium Red Light
Cadmium Yellow
Yellow Ochre
Purple or Violet

Here are some others you might like to add:
Burnt Umber
Alizarin Crimson
Hooker’s Green
Cobalt Blue
Cerulean Blue
Other yellows


Brushes:  (Flat ones, meant for acrylic)  (I have these if you don't.)
One large one 1 to 1.5 inches wide, to apply the first coat of colour
One large, size 10 or 12 (at least ½ inch wide)
A medium, size 6 or 8
A couple of smaller ones

Palette:  There are lots of possibilities: Paper plates (I have lots), tear-off disposable pads, an old dinner plate, a butcher plate, etc.

Easel:  If you like to paint on a table easel, bring it along.  Or you may prefer to work on a flat table, standing up.  

Miscellaneous Supplies:  (I have all of these to share.)
Rags
Paper towels
Water container
Small water spritzer bottle
Sketch paper or book
Soft pencils
White chalk for sketching on a dark canvas.

(I don’t use mediums, but if you do, bring them along.  We can always learn from each other!)
