Supply List (Indoor Classes/Workshops)
If you’re drawing with charcoal:
- Small pad of paper and pencil
- Notebook and pen
- One 14” x 17” or larger pad of Drawing Paper and/or Tracing Paper
- Large board with clips for supporting your pad of paper
- Several compressed charcoal sticks (sticks instead of pencils), I use General’s brand
- Several sticks of vine charcoal (medium or soft)
- Kneaded eraser
- Long pencil or paint brush to use for measuring
- Chamois cloth (optional)
If you’re painting with oils:
- Small pad of paper and pencil
- Notebook and pen
- Canvas: I recommend using 9" x 12" up to 16" x 20" sized canvases (you can use canvas panels, stretched canvas, or even tear-off canvas pads). Bring a few to each class.
- Brushes I use:
- #2, #4, #6, #8 bristle flats (I use Holbein's Killington bristle flats, but the brand doesn't really matter as long as the bristles don't fall out too easily).
- #2, #4, #8, #12 sable flats (I use Royal & Langnickel sable flats, series 5590, available at Cheap Joe's Art Stuff -- www.CheapJoes.com).
