Materials list

The following is required for this workshop :-
Canvases/ canvas boards – 1 x medium and 2 x small (no smaller than A4 size). Your choice of shape. One more if you feel the need!
Surfaces – In advance of the workshop, prime your canvas surfaces (and edges) at least twice with white Gesso. Use a flat, wide brush. Aim for a smooth finish (by adding a little water to the Gesso). Let dry between each coat.
Brushes for painting – bring along your favourite brushes (Flat and Filbert). Include at least one wide brush (15 or 20 mm wide).
A set of flat, soft, synthetic brushes, ranging from 2mm to 15mm is a good way to start your collection.
