- Canvases/Panels: 1 canvas, panel, or board per day (3 total) is recommended, unless you work fast and prefer to bring extras. Nicholas uses smoothly gessoed canvases or Ampersand gesso panels, but participants may bring whatever support they feel comfortable with.
- An easel, or way to hold your painting while you’re working. Something that is transportable is necessary. Nicholas uses an Italian steel field easel similar to this: https://www.dickblick.com/products/richeson-italian-steel-tripod-easel/?srsltid=AU7gw4Ufz2zl5AaTOwHG84HTC-_U3NTt-BrC70ebJlyh4M6p5Z0QcE9J
- a palette or surface to arrange your paints on.
- Brushes: Nicholas works with stiff, sharp flat synthetics (Alf Bjerke – Monglon Flat), though participants are welcome to bring their preferred brushes.
- Mediums & Solvents: Liquin/alkyd medium, linseed oil, and turpentine or odourless mineral spirits and some little containers to hold them.
- Core Palette: Titanium White, Yellow Ochre, Naples Yellow (or Old Holland Brilliant Yellow), Cadmium Yellow, Cadmium Orange, Chinese Vermilion (or Cadmium Red), Madder Deep (or deep dark red), Ultramarine Blue, Cerulean Blue, Cobalt Blue. Again this is what Nicholas uses, but you are more than welcome to bring your own paints if you prefer.
- Optional Palette Additions: Brilliant Pink, Montserrat Orange (Williamsburg).
