The following materials are recommended for successful participation in this workshop. If you have favorite materials that you would rather use, we can talk about it via. e-mail to make sure they will be adequate for the workshop exercises. Class demonstrations will be done using acrylics.

ACRYLIC PAINTS:
Colors listed are Heavy Body Tube Acrylics. Brands are important only when specified.

· Ultramarine Blue
· Hookers Green
· Hookers Green Deep ( Liquitex brand )
· Cadmium Yellow Medium
· Cadmium Red Medium
· Yellow Ochre or Raw Sienna
· Burnt Sienna ( Winsor Newton Finity ) or (see note below for alternative)
· Raw Umber
· Alizarin Crimson

· Other colors optional: If you have favorite colors, you can use them.

Golden Fluid Acrylics are acceptable alternatives. If you choose to go this route, please substitute Golden's Transparent Red Iron Oxide for the Burnt Sienna and Golden's Jenkins Green for the Hooker's Green. A small amount of Bone Black can be added to Jenkin's Green to create Hooker's Green Deep.

BRUSHES: (If you already have favorite synthetic fiber brushes, you may substitute them. Do not use your good sable watercolor brushes with acrylics.) (Brand names are only suggestions.)

· 2" plus flat wash brush, (my personal preference is a DaVinci #60)
  1" and ½" flats, Winsor Newton, Series 995 or equal
· #4 and #8 Round (make sure that they come to a nice sharp point)
· #1 and #2 Riggers or Script brushes

PALETTE:

· A flat porcelain butchers tray works great for acrylics.

MISC. ITEMS:

· White Acrylic Gesso ( A small bottle will be adequate. )
· Matte Acrylic Medium ( A small bottle will be adequate. )
· Liquid masking medium
  Acrylic Flow Release (Golden) (small bottle)
· A bar of Ivory soap (To be used with the masking medium )
· Your favorite graphite pencils
· A Soft White Eraser
· White Paper Towels
· A Water Container (1 gallon minimum)

SOMETHING TO PAINT ON:

  Arches, 140# or 300#, Cold Pressed Watercolor Paper ( Each participant will probably need no more   than one sheet, cut into ¼ sheet sizes)
· 1 gesso primed canvas or canvas board (small, no larger than 16" x 20") 
  1 gesso primed panel (no larger than 16" x 20"). This panel can be masonite, wood paneling, or any   relatively smooth surface other than watercolor paper or canvas. A canvas board can be used for this   one if you apply several coats of gesso (3 or 4) to cover canvas texture.
