You can purchase one of these sizes of canvas: 24” x 36,” 24” x 24” OR 18” x 24”

Pack of 11” x 14” canvases

*Keep in mind that you may need more canvases depending on how you work, but I recommend purchasing at least one larger canvas, along with the pack of 11” x 14” canvases.

For the first class, bring only one large canvas 24” x 36,” 24” x 24” OR 18” x 24” and two 11” x 14” canvases, and all other supplies listed below.

Acrylic Paint

I highly recommend using Golden acrylic paints (high flow, fluids or heavy body or a combination). This brand has a high pigment load, and a diverse array of colors to choose from; they also have iridescent and interference colors, which can enhance a piece.

For the first class, purchase three colors of the paint you like and also white. After the first class, you can decide on other colors or brands you might want to use.  My favorite brand to use is Golden, but NOVA is also a good choice as are: Amsterdam, M. Graham, Holbein, Winsor & Newton, Grumbacher, and many more (this is not an extensive list, just suggestions).

Palette knives

Paint brushes

Cheese cloth (you can purchase this at Publix—ask as it is usually hanging from a shelf in the middle of an aisle or sometimes at the end cap of an aisle)

Tissue paper

Paper towels

Plastic cup or container for water

Palmolive or Dawn dish soap to clean your brushes

Cloth for wiping and cleaning brushes

You can purchase supplies at: Michaels (online), novacolorpaint.com, Jerry’s Artarama (online), Dick Blick (online), Jackson’s (online), Holbein Artist Materials (online)

Please note: no canvases can be left in classrooms, so you will have to bring this to and from each class.
