Supply list for Mixed Media with Acrylic....

.....Acylic paint,
I use Golden products, but  please don't go out and buy new products.   As I love colour, I've tried just about every one of them and have now settled on a few that I use frequently.   They are Thalo Blue, Ultramarine Blue, Aureolin Yellow, Yellow Ochre, Cad. Yellow Med., Cad. Red Light, Alizarin Crimson, Titanium White, Burnt Umber, Jenkins Green and Cobalt Teal.    Bring any others that you already have.

......Brushes for Acrylic,
I use an assortment of flat and round nylon brushes such as Acrilex, series 500-F (at Opus).   Since we won't be working that large, the largest you'll need is a one inch flat.

.....Support,
You may use paper or canvas for your support, whichever you like, but, paper is easy to transport to and from class, and you can adapt all of the same techniques to either paper or canvas.    If you like, bring paper for just about everything, and one or two small canvases 11" x 14".   I'll leave it up to you.    Four sheets of a paper, cut into quarters or halves, such as Opus student watercolour paper should be fine, if you choose paper.

.....a board, piece of plastic or piece of plexi-glass, larger than the size of paper you choose to work on.

...... a roll of 3m (trademark)  3/4 or one inch masking tape

......wax paper
