Materials for painting workshops 

I am very happy for you to bring materials you already have as long as you use this list as a rough guide.

Remember an Apron/old shirt kitchen roll or kitchen cloths for wiping brushes as you paint , baby wipes also handy for clearing up. Some people like to protect hands with surgical gloves it’s totally up to you.

Masking tape handy for sticking your reference to the easel. 

Sketch pad and pencil

I will have spares of most things and will be supplying the board for you to paint on for the morning. Have a close read and don’t hesitate to ask me any questions.
