    MATERIALS

    •  Paper: I generally use Arches 300gsm NOT paper, taped to a craftwood board using good quality (Painter’s) masking tape. (I do not stretch the paper unless I am going to do a very wet-in-wet painting.) Good paper is essential.• Brushes: The best you can afford. I now have two• Pigments: I use a variety of brands, primarily Sennelier and Winsor and Newton tubes. I squeeze out into a large deep-well palette which I spray lightly using a fine spray water-filled bottle with a couple of drops of glycerine added. Keep palette covered when not in use.
