Canvas: Unless you have experience working in larger sizes, it is recommended that you work with the following sizes: 11" x 14” up to 12” x 16” Fredrix canvas panels or stretched canvas.

Other Supplies: Paint palette (A pad of disposable paper palettes are useful for easy cleanup), Roll of paper towels, Two small jars (Jelly jars are a good size), One large jar (A mayonnaise jar is a good size), Disposable non-surgical gloves or “Invisible Glove” protective cream for hands, and a Palette knife (trowel shaped). For the inevitable dabs of paint that find their way on to your clothing, a good spot remover is called Kiss-Off and is available at most art supply stores.

Transportation of paintings and paint supplies: To transport your wet paintings to and from class, lay an old sheet or drop cloth across the trunk of your car. An empty pizza box is also useful for making sure that wet paintings don’t slide around. For transporting your painting supplies, a toolbox, old briefcase or large canvas tote are good alternatives.
