PAINTING SURFACES
Inner Glow boards: Can be used on both sides so one can make two different starts, exploring different ideas; slick surface. http://www.billewing.com/innerglow-paint-panels/
New Traditions Art Panels: L600 series
These boards have the advantage of being lightweight if you get them on Gatorfoam. The surface is smooth but with the texture of linen.
Drawing Supply List
Drawing Pads
At least one newsprint pad for gesture drawing (students will do many gesture drawings throughout the workshop.) and at least one drawing pad with off-white paper Strathmore Drawing Pads 400 series http://www.dickblick.com/products/strathmore-400-series-smooth-surface-drawing-pads/ or anything comparable, paper that is off-white instead of brilliant white. (It is easier on the eyes.) Small sketchbooks are available from Kunst & Papier (www.kunst-papier.com or phone 650-321-1738). My favorite style is the Wire-O Sketchbooks. Any size that appeals works beautifully. At least one pad needs to be 16 x 20 or larger for the long poses. Students can just use newsprint if money is a factor, as it is off-white. But they should also know that newsprint isn’t archival and will yellow and eventually disintegrate.
Paper
Bring a variety of colored papers (neutral tones), BFK Rives Paper, Somerset, Speckletone paper. There is a new color in Stonehenge paper called Kraft. Students will use white contè on these papers to create an enhanced feeling of light on the model. (Optional; Instead of buying toned paper, you may make your own tone on white paper with contè or charcoal or by putting a wash of watercolor on the paper. This seems to work best with Rives BFK, but any smooth paper will work. Use masking tape to secure the sides of the paper completely until paper is dry. This can be speeded up with a hair dryer.)
