Supply List - Painting: Colour, Medium and Surface

Painting experience required.

- Paints and brushes: you can work in any medium of your choice for this course (oil, acrylic, watercolour or gouache) or a combination for layering (eg. acrylic, then oil). Please have on hand a range of colours, a variety of brushes and any other tools you like to use to apply paint.

- Surfaces: A range of found, constructed or purchased surfaces are recommended (work, canvas, paper, metal, cardboard)

- Optional: found collage papers and/or objects to incorporate into your painting.

Please note: this course is about exploring and experimenting with materials so a specific list is not appropriate. Each painting project will require each student to choose the most appropriate materials and surface that suits their idea.
