+ 1” wide flat brush,
1 small cheap round brush size 8 for friskit application
PALETTE: 1 white plastic palette with large mixing areas suitable for watercolors
for acrylics I recommend using the Masterson's palette for my acrylics because it has a seal and will keep my acrylics moist for many day's use.
Or a WHITE large- plastic or foam plate/tray suitable for mixing paints on will also work for acrylics, but this will not keep acrylic paints moist.
WATER CONTAINERS: You will need : Two jars or plastic containers for water.
OPTIONAL ASSORTED OTHER MATERIALS : a roll of paper towels, sponges either natural or man made,
old tooth brushes for splattering paint,
pencils, kneaded erasers,
Plastic wrap like “glad wrap”.
Scissors or xacto knife,
A brayer or spoon,
Chop stick,
Paper towels,
Nylon gloves,
Zip lock bag for small collage paper bits and pieces,
garbage bag
We will take a mid day lunch break so a sack lunch & beverage are two items you may want to have with you.
You may want to have some kind of table cover ie, plastic table sheet, table cloth, large trash bag anything to keep your paint area clean.
Please bring a 4B (soft) drawing pencil and an eraser. Paper towels
"Friskit" also known as a resist , this product is used to save the whites on our paper - I recommend "Incredible white magic" Winsor & Newton also makes a friskit , make sure it is the removable friskit and not permanent.
