Painters Tip
Getting Ready For A Painting Workshop
If you are planning on attending a workshop soon you will need to be prepared. I recommend that you make a checklist of items you will need. As you gather the items, check them off as you put them in your car.
Paints
Palette
Easel
Brushes
Canvases
Notebook or journal with pens and pencils
Sketchbook
Solvents (for oils)
Bottled water
Spray bottle with a few drops of retarder for acrylics
Paper towels
Chair( If you are a sitter)
1 trash bag for each day. Supermarket plastic bags work great.
Pizza boxes or drying boxes for wet paintings.
If you are painting on location you will need bug spray, sunscreen and a large wide hat for protection from sun.
The usual traveling items like clothing and toiletries
Cash or credit cards for expenses like hotel, meals, gas.
Camera
Notebook computer if you have one. At night you will want to write notes on what you studied that day. It will stay fresh in your mind and not be forgotten.
Your instructor or workshop facilitator should send you directions to the workshop location, maps, supply lists, motel list and receipts for payment.
You should spend some time before the workshop writing down questions you might want to have answered by your teacher, along with thoughts about your goals and focus for the workshop.
More on Workshops tomorrow.........
