Most students prefer to work on their own artist quality materials and larger canvas or paper - these can be acquired online or at local art supply / craft supply stores.
All Classes and Workshops - Help those with Allergy issues - No oils or pastels please. No Latex gloves. No Solvents. Limit scents - such as perfumes, beauty products, anything with a scent.
Bring your own photos or examples that you would like to use for your "inspiration" or we can look at examples of Kathleen's art.
Materials Supply List for Workshops:
ONE DAY painting classes with Kathleen Mooney at FLPC Franciscan Life Process Center
Materials List of what YOU should bring:
4 tubes or bottles of acrylics in colors you enjoy. These do not need to be new / full tubes.
3 tubes of watercolor in colors you enjoy. These do not need to be new / full tubes.
White gesso
A pack of Unscented baby wipes
If you wear gloves - only NON LATEX gloves PLEASE!
2-4 garbage bags to protect your work surface.
Paper plates, yogurt cups or whatever you use to mix paints
8 brushes in any sizes that you enjoy painting with. Acrylic paint is hard on brushes - so you may want to leave your best watercolor brushes at home!
Flat box(es) or newspaper to transport your 8 x 8 panels home on. This protects your car if the paint is not dry when you leave.
Reminder - wear comfortable clothing you don't mind getting paint on!
