For David's class Students will need:
- A free-standing easel
- A palette (the largest paper tear-off palettes are good)
- Plenty of paper towels
- Pots for medium
- Odourless mineral spirit - or water if you are going the water soluble route
The following oil or acrylic paints (I will be using oil):
- Titanium White

- Cadmium Red Light
- Burnt Sienna
- Permanent Rose or Alizarin Crimson
- Cerulean Blue

- Suitable brushes - use hogs hair or synthetics – from a good small (size 2) brush up to a large brush about an inch or so across. I use a mix of brights and flats sizes 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12. A small round brush can be useful for fine detail.
- A stick or two of willow charcoal.
Supports (canvases, boards, etc.):
- 4 at 16"x20"
- 2 at 20"x24" or larger – up to 22" x 28"
