Like most of my classes, below are general materials that I use in the videos and lessons. They are broken down by week, so you can acquire supplies as we go along. Please don't run out and buy everything on this list - use what you have in stock and make substitutions that are cost-effective!
Note: in the final week's video my painting "The Wanderer" is shown in Part 7 with a pouring of Resin on top of watercolor paper mounted on an artboard, and using a propane torch. Both are techniques that require some prior experience and expertise, otherwise, things can become dangerous. Please don't use resin unless you have some experience or have learned and experimented with this coating. Always wear a respirator, not just a paper mask as most resin fumes are quite toxic. Always have adequate ventilation, and a fan blowing out of a window or door in the area you pour resin.
