Class Supply List

• Palette (wooden or butcher paper).

• Small container of Gamsol
• Small container of medium (half linseed half Gamsol) I’ve found the squeeze mustard bottles at the art store work perfectly

• Sketchbook- for thumbnails and process work

• View catcher- grey plastic viewfinder-an essential tool in the field

Other Materials:

The first will be one sitting in black and white, the second a smaller 2 sitting setup in color, and the third a larger setup in color for 3 sittings. I tell you this so that you may bring whatever material you prefer to paint on. Feel free to email me with any questions at jeremydurilng@gmail.com.
