Materials List - These are the materials you will need to bring with you for this class.

General Supplies:

Assortment of brushes in various sizes and shapes—these should be soft brushes that are ready for use. Please do not use hard bristle brushes.

Multiple surfaces in various sizes. Minimum size is 8” x 10”. For the larger sizes, I recommend a minimum of 18” x 24”. I will expand on this in class.
