Your first step is to gather the materials needed for the workshop. Below is the list and shopping resources. Please take a moment to the quick notes below for the complete description of each item and how to choose what works for your budget.
Materials:
• Bristol paper (at least 32 sheets, 100 - 300 lb, 19x24") • Sketchbook • Oil pastels or crayons • Acrylic paints • Brushes (foam and synthetic) • Color palette • (3) 30x30" stretched canvases • Bonus: spray bottle for water, rags, and household items
• Gather your materials from your local art store on online. • You can jump right into the first few lessons with just a sketchbook and some basic tools while you round up the rest.
Sketchbook Reflection:
• Once you gather your oil sticks and acrylics, play with them in your sketchbook to get a feel for how they move across the paper.
