What to Bring

Life Drawing & Painting Course Equipment

You need bring nothing. The essential drawing and painting course equipment is provided: easels and drawing boards.

Most people find it easier to purchase their materials from me at the studio. The painting tools and equipment I sell, supplied mainly by Winsor & Newton, are what you will need and the right quality.

Materials to buy at the studio

Drawing Materials

Sugar paper and newsprint for 5 and 1 minute drawings
Cartridge paper
Canson paper for longer drawings
Medium willow and extra thick charcoal
White pastel
Putty rubbers
Fixative
Inks
Ink brushes

Painting Materials

Oil paints
Kitchen roll
Palette knives
Disposable palettes

Watercolour & Acrylic Painting Resources

You are welcome to work in watercolour or acrylic. I do not stock these paints. If you are planning to use watercolour then you will need to bring your paints, brushes and watercolour paper with you, and if you are planning to work in acrylic I can meet all your needs except for the paint.

Lunch

Either bring a packed lunch to eat at the studio or on the roof garden in good weather, or use the local cafés. There is also a shop next door to the studio where you may buy provisions.

Directions

To help you find the studio, directions and a map are available via the Contact page. Please if you have any other queries.
