For painting surfaces, I would like to remain flexible but I would recommend canvas or panel approximately 14 by 18 as well as a small pad of more versatile material such as arches oil paper or Centurion primed linen. I find a canvas and board of the same dimensions with a small pad of oil paper to be a versatile and adaptable combination. We will meet for 5 sessions, so a minimum of 2-4 canvases is a good guideline. You are always welcome to bring a lunch and continue painting in the afternoon.
