You will need to bring:

Nine 8×8-inch substrates. These can be deep cradled panels, narrow cradled panels, or even flat panels. If preferred, participants can work entirely on Arches Oil Paper. Dayna requests that participants bring nine of the same substrate they decide upon for their grid to be displayed together.

Note: If participants prefer not to create a grid, they should bring multiple substrates of their choice and create individual reimagined landscapes. If choosing this option, a variety of sizes and/or types of substrates can be brought.

Note: Dayna prefers to use cradled wood substrates. These work well because the sides can either be taped to keep clean, or paint can be extended onto the edges for added variety. Wood substrates are particularly great because some of the techniques used in the workshop are aggressive (e.g., removing paint by sanding or with solvent). Arches Oil Paper can be used exclusively if participants prefer not to use wood substrates.
