MATERIALS

• 51 x 61cm good quality canvas board. Quality canvas is essential. As you do not want a board that is not well primed and sucks the life out of the paint – nor one that is too slippery.
• Art Basics 101 Flat Bristle in all sizes
• Eterna 579 (a cheap ‘hairy bristle but useful for some effects and softening edges)
• Monte Marte ‘Rake’ brush - great for grass
• Art Basics Bristle – round 1 & 2
• Eterna 582 Bristle round
• I also cut my own brushes with sharp scissors using old brushes I no longer use. These are great for a variety of uses where texture is required.
• Thin willow charcoal
