here’s an overview of materials I use in most e-course {a detailed supply list will be emailed with your registration confirmation}. NOTE: All of my workshops incorporate using simple materials and tools. Most of these are simple mixed
media/art supplies and found materials. I am a big believer of using
what you already own...shop your stash. Here is a list of basic recommended supplies. I will share my favorites during the workshop.
- 30 found papers - collect a variety of papers to use as backgrounds, in collage, etc. (examples: heavy drawing paper, copy paper, newsprint, Xerox copies,
watercolor graph paper, envelopes, maps, ledger paper, found papers}

- art journal/ sketchbook
- acrylic or watercolor paint
- gesso
- pens/markers – I use COPIC markers, sharpies, Prismacolor
pencils, Derwent Inktense +Artbars, oil pastels, Sakura gel pens
- water-soluble crayons
- black permanent pen
