Paper • pads or individual sheets. Look for smooth or cold press surface (i.e. Strathmore 400 series Heavy Weight Printmaking paper 8 x 10" or Strathmore Mixed Media 300 g). Check Michael's as they often have deals on pads of paper. Tools: • two or more palette knives either plastic or metal • pad of disposable palette sheets (i.e. Strathmore 300 Palette Paper 9 x 12") or roll of parchment paper • roll of paper towel Brushes: • If you have any watercolour brushes please bring them to class • If you need to buy brushes, start with a couple of watercolour brushes that are round, small to medium size l(i.e. #6 ). Opus brands like Allegro or Galiano Watercolour Brushes would be a good start • A great brush for gouache is the Princeton Chubby kid brush either flat or round at Opus. I discovered these versatile brushes when experimenting with gouache. Any questions regarding workshop supplies, please contact the instructor through VISA for more information.
