You don’t need to buy expensive brushes. I like having a hog bristle brush on hand because it can withstand scrubbing. You should try different types of brushes but please include at least the following: - 1 flat or filbert #10 or #12 (approx. 1-1½” wide) - 1 flat or filbert #3 or #4 - 1 round #1 or #2 You will also need: - 1 Palette knife (I recommend teardrop shaped) - 1 roll of masking tape - 1 roll of paper towels (blue shop towels are excellent) - 1 board or surface that you can tape your paper to for painting. - A black dry-erase marker - 2-3 clear plastic sheet/document protectors If you are using oil paint: - Palette for oils -I recommend disposable palette sheets - Medium for oils – 1 small bottle of linseed oil 1 bottle of odourless mineral spirits (Taltine, Gamsol) or non-toxic citrus thinner - 1-2 small empty glass jar with lid for your thinner - 1 small container for medium. (Clean tuna can is fine) - Paper for oils: We will start by working on paper for quick exercises. You’ll need at least a dozen sheets so a pad is a good and economical choice. Get the larger one you can always cut it. You must either have canvas paper, paper for oils or paper that you have gessoed ahead of time. Sometimes we will be working on a coloured ground, so you may want to have a the 3 primary colours in a cheap acrylic. You may also want to work on canvas or board for some projects. We’ll talk about size and surface in class. If you are using acrylic paint: - Palette for acrylics – If you use acrylics regularly, I recommend you try a stay-wet palette (buy the largest) OR disposable palette sheets - Liquid medium for acrylics (your choice of gloss or mat) - 2 containers for water (plastic yogurt containers are great) - Paper for acrylics: We will start by working on paper for quick exercises. You’ll need at least a dozen sheets so a pad is a good and economical choice. Get the larger one you can always cut it. Canvas paper or paper made for acrylics are best but any paper that can withstand wet media is fine. The Canson XL mixed media will wrinkle a bit if you use lots of water but it’s a very economical choice for studies and exercises. You may also want to work on canvas or board for some projects.
