Suggested Supplies

I like to keep my supply list limited and the same for all my art journal courses so that once you’ve collected them you’re always ready to get started on the next adventure. Parentheses include specific products I recommend. Of course, substitute what you have available if it's not feasible to purchase these specifically.

  • Journal with thick paper (Canson XL Mix Media Pads 9Ă—12)
  • Watercolor pencils in a short rainbow of colors (I strongly recommend the Inktense brand)
  • Thick Waterproof Pen (Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens “B” Brush Nib in Black. The dual tip would be awesome) Sharpies work great too. You might toss in the White Sakura Gelly Roll Regular Gel Ink Pen – 0.4 mm as well.
  • Magazines or Patterned papers, book pages, photos, odds and end images in a collage "stash". (I use my New Yorker subscription) plus glue, scissors, tape
  • Some classes will specifically include painting and for those you’ll need assorted smaller size brushes (Da Vinci Junior Series 303 and 304 – sizes 1, 6, 8 & 10) and acrylic paint in a short rainbow- red, yellow, blue, black, brown & white (Golden Fluid Acrylics in Cadmium Red Medium, Hansa Yellow Medium, Cobalt Turquoise, Raw Umber, Bone Black, & Titanium White.)
  • On occasion you may need access to a printer to print out black and white images on plain paper.
