Workshop Supply List

This is a recommended list. Please bring what you already own and are comfortable with.

I am teaching a plein air painting workshop, I don’t want students to be bogged down by unfamiliar colors or materials. I would rather you concentrate on painting.  If you have a palette you like stick with it for now. I recommend adding new colors slowly.  Gamblin oil colors most brands of oil colors are fine but I don’t recommend student grades.
