ESSENTIAL (See note on **Painting Kits available):

If you do not have a painting kit, or wish to purchase materials suitable to attend multiple art workshops with Sonia, you are welcome to purchase one of Sonia's Art Painting Kits**.

1) Acrylic paints - colours:

• Daisy Mist - colours: Light yellow, yellow ochre, medium green, olive green, burnt umber, black, white, orange.
• Note: I recommend the use of Masking fluid (from an art store) for a part of the artwork ... BUT if you do not have this not to worry... we can improvise and it wont affect your painting too much. Masking fluid is just another handy tool in your artist kit to learn to use - and I cover this in the session.

2) Paint brushes - variety of brushes including a fan brush, a mop brush, a selection of round brushes, including one with a fine tip (see image below)

3) Palette knife

4) Palette surface to mix paints on, example: yogurt tub lid, or palette paper pad

5) A hair dryer

6) Painting Drop sheet or old towel to protect the table (we suggest placing a plastic lining directly on your table under the towel or drop sheet to protect it )

7) Wear an apron or clothes you won't mind getting a bit of paint on

8) Canvas or Canvas board approximately 30cm x 40cm (you can go larger or smaller)

9) Spray bottle/Misting Bottle with water

10) 2x Water bowls to wash brushes

11) Old towel or clean rag to dry your brushes

12) Cotton buds

NICE TO HAVE

• * Masking Fluid (highly recommended)

• A Water colour pencil similar to your main colour of your painting - we do not recommend you use a normal pencil or coloured pencils.

FINISHING OFF YOUR ARTWORK

We recommend that after a period of approximately a week you apply two coats of varnish to your painting to lock in the colours and protect it from dust.

IMPORTANT TIP: We suggest you use spray-on acrylic clear varnish as the first coat of varnish to cover the artwork. Using a spray varnish will prevent any movement of paint which could happen if varnish is applied with a paint brush.
