Class Supplies
Class Supply List
Students in my classes are free to work in any medium.
The following suggested supply list is for anyone who needs help.
You may purchase the supplies individually or in pre-packaged sets. The sets are discounted and ready to be shipped to you.
These are the supplies that I use in my work because they're the best, the easiest and offer the most control. They will make painting easier.
Oil Paint Workshop Set - For Portrait & Figure. Paints and brushes I use in class and in my studio.
Cityscape (and Landscape) Set - Supplies I use online, plein air and in my studio for landscapes and cityscapes.
Drawing Supplies:
Compressed charcoal sticks
General's Charcoal Pencils - medium and soft
Kneaded Eraser
Blending Stump
18" x 24" Pad of Newsprint Paper

Palette:
Bring a palette if you’re going to paint. I use a glass palette and keep it in a plastic palette box.
Plein Air Easel:
I use the Easy L Pro when painting outside. I love it. Light, sturdy, and very easy to travel with.
Mineral Spirits:
If you’re going to bring mineral spirits, and you don’t have to - a lot of artists don’t use thinners while painting - use Gamsol and please bring it in a small container with a lid, like an old jam jar. At home, clean your brushes with soap and water after class. They will last 100 times as long as they would otherwise.
