(10 or more brushes should suffice)
Palette Knife: At least one small palette knife
Easel: Sturdy plein air easel.
Palette: A mixing surface for your paint. Most plein air easels come with a suitable palette. Make sure your palette is large enough..a 9"x12" or large palette is recommended.
Canvas: Please bring 1 canvas 11'x14" or larger. You may use stretched canvas or canvas boards, cotton or linen. If you are using stretched canvas you can cut cardboard to fit the back of the canvas to prevent light from shining through while working outdoors.
Paper Towels: A decent quality paper towel such as Bounty or Viva is recommended.
Trash bag: For disposing of soiled paper towels.
Proper Clothing: Avoid wearing bright, colorful clothes as these will reflect color back into your painting while you are working.
Backpack or Tote: To transport materials.
Medium: I use a mixture of 3/4 Galkyd Painting medium with 1/4 Gamsol Odorless mineral spirits.
Paint Thinner: I recommend Gamsol Odorless Mineral Spirits. I will have some gamsol available for students to use if you don't have any
Medium Cup: A cup to hold your medium so you can dip your brush into it as you work. This should sit on your easel or palette for easy access while painting.
Brush Washer : This will be filled with Gamsol and can be used to swish/clean your brushes in while you work. This should sit or hang on your easel for easy access while painting. I use the stainless steel type brush washers.
A Wet Canvas/Panel Holder: Some way of holding your wet paintings for when you transport them. This could be a simple cardboard box or a fancy Raymar Wet Panel Carrier or anything in between that works for you.
