You will need to bring:

Participants should bring 3–4 substrates, either gessoed wood panels or gessoed canvas, no larger than 12 inches in either direction. The instructor works on Ampersand Gessoboard. These and all supplies can be purchased at Blick Art Supply, Artist & Craftsman, or ordered online through https://www.jerrysartarama.com/.

Participants will need Gamsol, an odorless thinner made by Gamblin, in a medium size. They will also need Gamblin solvent-free medium gel, which comes in a tube.

A selection of 4–5 brushes is recommended, including flats, rounds, or filberts in a combination of shapes and sizes ranging from #3 to #10. The instructor most frequently uses #4, #6, and #8 flats or filberts for small still lifes, which will be the focus of the class.

Additional materials include a pencil, a small jar for medium (a short, wide-mouth jar with a lid), and a larger jar for Gamsol for cleaning brushes. The instructor uses a dill-pickle-size jar with a lid for this purpose. A medium-size palette knife is needed for mixing small amounts of paint.

Paints should be Gamblin brand. The instructor recommends having Titanium Zinc White, Cadmium Lemon, India Yellow, Cadmium Red Medium, Alizarin Crimson, and Ultramarine Blue. Cadmium Orange and Cobalt Teal are optional.

Participants will also need a palette, which may be a disposable pad, glass, acrylic, or sealed wood, along with nitrile gloves, rags or paper towels, and a shallow cardboard box—such as a plant or pizza box—for transporting wet paintings home.
