If you need to purchase gouache, starting with Winsor & Newton Gouache Intro to Art Set of 10 would be fine. It retails at Opus for $47.49.

Please note: do not bring Acrylic gouache (any brand). It has an acrylic polymer base. Traditional gouache remains open after it has dried. It can be rewetted, ready to use again. Paper: Select pads or individual sheets. Look for smooth or cold press surface, such as Strathmore 400 series Heavy Weight Printmaking paper 8 x 10" or Strathmore Mixed Media 300 g.

Also I recommend high-quality watercolour paper for in-class exercises if you want good results.

You can buy sheets of watercolour paper and tear them into 1/4s. -Winsor and Newton Bristol Board 9 x 12" pad (this is for doing hard edge abstraction using tape) Homework projects, suggested materials: - paints (oil, acrylics, watercolour or gouache) in a range of colours -including warm and cool yellow, warm and cool red, warm and cool blue, at least 2 greens, one orange, one violet and large tube of white (for oil or acrylic) - matte medium (acrylic), odourless mineral spirits and walnut or linseed oil for oils - variety of brushes (small, large, round, flat) - surfaces to paint on (canvas, panel or paper, depending on paint choice) -you will need at least 11 surfaces for the course if you plan to do all the homework assignments.
