  •   Panels— Randy currently uses oil primed linen panels with a medium tooth – (New Traditions Art Panels, C-15 or C-12- portrait linens mounted on board). For the purpose of the workshop feel free to use cheaper panels. Randy will discuss panels and supplies during the workshop.

    You will be painting about 2 paintings per day, so bring a variety of panels (or canvases) ranging from 8 x 10 to 16 x 20 or whatever your comfort zone is. For example, Randy forces himself to work with 8 x 10’s or smaller, and frequently finds they are the most successful on location.

    ―If you choose to use the cheap canvas boards, try adding a layer or two of gesso to them to build up (and vary) the surface. It makes it more fun to paint on.
