Painting Materials

Canvas or Panels,
You will need at least five canvas or panels toned mid-gray with acrylic paint. I like the Ampersand gesso panels sized 9x12 0r 11x14 or canvas of your choice 11x14 to 16x20. You can tone them with white plus a little ivory black and a hint of burnt umber or use "Golden Heavy Bodied Neutral Gray N6" premixed acrylic.

Optional for red chalk drawing

Paper
Twinrocker "Yale" or "Calligraphy Cream" is ideal but more difficult to find. Paper should then be tinted using a watercolor wash (yellow ochre or raw sienna). After it dries apply a diluted layer of size (5 parts denatured alcohol to one part orange or amber shellac)

Pencils
Berol Verithin colored pencils: colors: terra cotta, black
