This is a multi-media workshop so you can use many supplies, but the core materials I will be working with are pencils, watercolor pencils, fine marker pens and a brush or two. If you have no art supplies you should be able to get enough materials for £20.

• Soft B pencils
  • At least two B’s is good: 3B and 6B for example. Bring HB if you have also.
• Pencil sharpener
• An eraser
• Watercolour pencils
  • Eg. Derwent Inktense Watercolour Pencils Tin Set of 12 -around £12 on Amazon.
• Fine marker pens
  • Posca uniball pens/paint pens (Posca recommended) or Sharpies.
  • If you use other brands make sure they are not water soluble.
  • One or more each in black, red and white.  Fine/1M or Extra Fine/3M.
  • It’s useful to have a range of thicknesses for black, so if you can get more than one it’s good to have the different line thicknesses. 
  • A recommended larger size is 5M/1.8-2.5mm.
  • Around £2 each on Amazon.
• A couple of brushes
  • A soft round brush with a point for using with watercolor pencils or gouache (size 8ish).
  • A short flat brush 1/2″-3/4″ for using with matt medium & gesso (cheap brush).
• Bits of papers for collage
  • Textured papers, or tissue, or brightly colored papers are all good. Just a bit.
• A few colored felt pens/ markers
  • Faber-Castel PITT Pens if your budget allows, or any other kind of felt pen, or not.
• Old plastic loyalty card/ stiff bit of card for scraping gesso

If you have you can also bring:

• Crayons

• Graphite stick

We will provide sturdy multimedia heavyweight paper (Arches or similar), matt medium, gesso, water pots and a few other supplies.
