Painting Workshop List:

These materials are what I use and a guideline only. You have the option to bring to class whatever materials you would normally use.

SURFACE:

• Fredrix 190 Antwerp Linen or
• Fredrix Universal Canvas* or
• Canvas boards* or
• Pre-stretched Canvas 16 x 20 or 20 x 24**

*If you choose the cheaper canvas you will need the following:

• Golden brand "Molding Paste"
• Acrylic Gesso
• Plastic spreader
• Two inch "chip" brush
• 2" Masking Tape

Please bring several pieces of masonite cut to sizes 14 x 18, 16 x 20, or 20 x 24. You then masking tape the canvas around the masonite and prepare it. I will demonstrate how to prepare the canvas in class. Students using the linen can stretch it to desired sizes, no preparation is needed.

**If you choose to purchase pre-stretched store bought canvas it must be portrait grade or smooth.

Acrylic Paint: Used for toning canvas. If you wish to tone in oil you may, but the surface must be completely dry by the time class starts.
