4 sheets (at least) watercolour paper (22 x30 in 140lb), or canvases or pre-prepared masonite hard boards, should be at least 16 x 20 or larger NB if you can paint with acrylics, paper doesn't have to be best quality watercolour paper (all purpose 140lb paper will suffice)

Bushes - variety of 1', 1 1/2, 2", (dollar shop nylon or foam house painting brushes are acceptable - large is important!), some rounds, or normal watercolour bushes

Any tools you already have that move paint around (or start collecting these at yard sales and dollar shops: sponges, sponge rollers, credit cards, combs, spatulas, scrapers, turkey basters, eye droppers etc.

Paint:  all paint and mediums on the workshop are supplied by Tri-Art Acrylics.  This will give you an opportunity to try out the wide range of products available on the market.  (if you have a favourite colour which you can't live without, bring it along too.

Spackle, or "polyfilla" or Durobond 90 (dry stuff will do)

(Optional: sand, small pebbles, egg shells, other textures or papers to collage with)

Everyone:  Water containers with lids to accommodate large brushes (e.g. margarine tubs will do - one for each colour and several for water (total: at least 8-10) - this is important! (Buy cheap tubs at dollar stores if you throw out your food ones)

Mixing palette (butchers tray or Styrofoam tray will do)

Small jar of rubbing or isopropyl alcohol (to make corrections)
