 please do not go out and spend a bunch of money on new supplies - what you already have will most likely be good enough for now just fill any gaps you may have.

Brushes

The student can bring pretty much what they are used to using or utilize what is mentioned below.  I suggest bristle filberts.  Filberts are kind of like using a flat and a round brush all in one.  One will find they can get a lot of use out of them with out buying a whole bunch of brushes.  You can later decide if using a flat or round is more beneficial.  To start I suggest buying numbers 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12.  If you are on a budget it's good to at least buy 3, 6, 10 or 12. Good brushes are Silver Grand Prix filberts # 1, 4, 6, 8, 12 and Langenickle model 5510 # 12, 20,26 and model 5590 # 2,4,8,10, 24, 44 and model #5000(or #5500) #0 or #00

Paint

The palette of paint I usually use consists of Titanium white(Rembrandt) and/or cremnitz white(Winsor/Newton),  cad yellow lemon(Rembrandt), cad yellow deep(Rembrandt), cad red medium(Utrecht), yellow ochre(Rembrandt), Tera Rosa(Winsor/Newton), alizarin crimson(Utrecht), Permanent Rose(Winsor/Newton),  Transparent Oxide Red (Rembrandt), olive green(Rembrandt), Winsor green(Winsor Newton) or phthalo green (Rembrandt), ultramarine blue deep(Rembrandt),  Ivory black(Rembrandt), Permanent violet medium(Rembrandt).

Canvas or painting surface

You can work on canvas or board.  Cotton duct canvas is less expensive than linen canvas.   it is best to coat it with 3 additional coats of gesso then lightly sand when dry to smooth it out a bit. Another economical (and better) surface you can paint on is hardboard (like Masonite). If you are planning to make your own it's much like how one would approach painting a wall.  I suggest using an acrylic gesso or traditional gesso. Once you have picked the size of board you are going to cover, apply three even uniform coats.  Allow each coat to dry before moving forward.  It's probably a good idea to several at one setting.  Lastly, lightly sand the surface to a smooth finish then tone using thinned raw umber oil paint and let dry for a couple of days.  For the class I would bring at least 3 or 4 canvases or panels (about 12x16, 14"x18" or 16''x 20”) unless you want to work larger or smaller. 

Other stuff

Viva Paper towels, 12x16 paper palette or a 12x16 piece of glass (Preferred), Portable easel, notebook, small hand mirror.

Books/magazine clippings of artists you like, pencil or charcoal, Q-tips, medium. Pizza box or similar for transporting your wet painting. If oil painting:  you will need odorless thinner for cleaning brushes at the end of the day (Turpenoid is a the only one I allow in class but you really do not need type of thinner when painting).
