GLASS PALETTE
This item is essential for clean color mixing. My
palette is a piece of glass on top of white mat
board, backed by a piece of wood. The layers are
wrapped together around the edges with duct
tape. Pre-made glass palettes can also be
purchased. 12x16” is a good size for travel.
Reinforce and bubble wrap palette before
transport.
PAINTING SURFACE
Bring one canvas or panel, prepared with *acrylic
ground*, approximately 12 x 12 inches (square or
rectangular).
I encourage you to make your own painting
substrate. Acrylic-primed, stretched canvas/linen
or acrylic-primed wood panel are ideal. Avoid
slick surfaces like clayboard or masonite. Apply 2
or 3 coats of Golden Gesso to your surface with a
brush or roller. Sand lightly after each application.
Allow gesso to dry completely before painting.
