Landscape in All Media
Students are encouraged to bring whatever materials they feel most comfortable working in. If you already have watercolor, gouache, oil, or acrylic paints there is no need to go out and buy more. If you are starting from scratch, a basic starter sets of your chosen media will do. Oil painters, please be sure to purchase odorless mineral spirits. Whatever your media of choice please bring a surface to paint on! Oil and acrylic artists can bring canvas or wood panels to work on. Watercolor or gouache artists, Watercolor paper can be expensive, but you also get what you pay for. A block of good quality watercolor paper, such as Arches 140 lb cold pressed, is a wonderful option if you want to invest. Otherwise please feel free to start off with a pad of watercolor paper (at least 9”x12”) that is less expensive. Pastel artists please bring a few sheets of paper in various colors. Please also bring brushes of various sizes - again, it can be what you’re used to working with, or, if you are a beginner, Flats in sizes #4, #6, #8 are a good start.
