Supply List

Canvas: 

• Please, NO acrylic or gesso primed canvases. A smooth textured canvas made for portrait painting or an equivalent oil or lead primed substrate canvas will be the most supportive for your art. You can also reuse a good canvas throughout the workshop by wiping off at the end of the day. 

• If ordering from America, a double primed linen portrait quality linen canvas from RayMar Art is perfect. Another affordable option that is great for learning is Jerry’s Artarama Oil Primed Linen Panels, stretched linen or linen pads made by Centurion Deluxe.  

• Three 16x20 canvases or three 18x24 canvases

Brushes: 

•  You may use any brushes you prefere, however I recommend the brushes I love which are handmade Rosemary & Co. Brushes. You may order the Tina Garrett starter set directly from Rosemary & Co. or you may order the set directly from me and I will bring it to the workshop for you. 

• Please do not make this link public, as supplies are limited and I only sell to artists directly in my workshops, not to the public: https://tinagarrett.com/brush-set/buy-now
