Supply List

Supply List


Please note you do not need to run out and buy all these new supplies (unless, of course, you were hoping for an excuse and then by all means), this supply list is for your reference and to make things a bit easier (some clickable links).

Quite often you can make do with what you have or swap out one brand for another although it is always fun to experiment and play with different materials and see what different artists are using.

Often on our journey its easy to think that if you just had the right this or that, or new this or that, then your work would progress. The most important thing is showing up to the practice of creating. The odd supply might be essential for one lesson here or there but if you have a general supply of basics you should be fine- improvise & experiment like an artist. Below  you will find the supply lists from the presenters but remember you can swap things out, choose your own colours and improvise.

Be sure that this supply list doesn't overwhelm you- use what you have :) Don't let not having the "right" supplies stop you from creating. This list is just a reference.

Also note many of the artists will walk you through the supplies in the lessons.

Jenny Grant
Play to Express

One of the pitfalls when working with mixed media is to buy lots of art supplies and then not use them. There are so many fun things to buy BUT you can produce some wonderful pieces with a few supplies, a lot of scraps and simple tools. If you have some pieces of paper from an old book, some acrylic paint, some matt medium, some scrap paper for collage, and a pencil or pen you will be good to go. Here is the list of the supplies that I used in the class:

  • Pages from an old recycled book

  • An assortment of scraps of paper, papers from an old book

  • Acrylic Paints heavy body and some Acrylic Ink.

  • Mark making tools such as stencils

  • Acrylic matt medium to use in collage. I use Liquitex, Matte Medium.

  • A hard tool such as an old credit card to move the paint and medium around. I use a Palette knife.

  • A couple of Pencils, Crayons or Pens for mark making

  • A couple of paint brushes.

  • Water spray bottle, old plastic lids and a couple of rags
