*If you are traveling, there will be plenty of things to paint provided by the studio, as well as fabrics and papers. But if you have something specific you would like to bring, please do so!
Things to paint: fruits, vegetables, vases, cups, plates, etc. AND solid fabric or colored. Paper for backgrounds (anything SIMPLE that inspires you – we’ll trade around.)

Titanium White
Cadmium Yellow Medium (or, I’ve been having luck lately with Utrecht’s cadmium-free yellow and red)
Cadmium Red Medium

Phthalo Blue (I highly recommend Gamblin’s 1980 version of this one)
(feel free to bring other colors)
Brushes: please bring some flats or brights in varying sizes, and a small filbert in addition to what you normally use (I recommend Silver brights by Bristlon, sizes 4,6,&8)
Panels: 1-3 small panels for each workshop day (6x6ish or whatever size/proportion you like – I recommend Gessobord by Ampersand – and some way to carry them home wet, especially if you are flying (raymarart.com sells wet panel carriers).
Odorless mineral spirits: I highly recommend Gamsol by Gamblin, and something to hold it in (preferably with a grate at the bottom)
Medium: optional (if traveling I recommend Gamblin’s Solvent Free Gel, in a tube)
Paper towels: I recommend blue work towels
Viewfinder: if you have one
Palette: if your easel doesn’t include one (disposable paper palettes work well)
Standing Easels and lamps are provided but you may bring your own if you prefer.
Optional:
Clip on lamp with bulb: something with an adjustable neck is preferable – you will use this to light your still life
