Supply list for the Four Day Workshop
The materials for this class are included. Look through the nine day workshop list to see if there
are any supplies that you may already own that you would like to have. You may choose to
purchase a set of the brushes, though there will be some brushes available that you may borrow.
Supply list for the Nine Day Workshop
A variety of artists' supplies exist. While we do not endorse any of the following products, we
offer these examples to guide you in choosing tools that will enhance your work with iconography.
Pencils -- 2 or 3 assorted drawing pencils, soft leads 2B through 6B and eraser. Some people prefer
a mechanical pencil.
Pencil sharpener and an eraser.
Water color pencils -- at least 2 or 3 watercolor pencils in earth tones, such as sienna, burnt umber,
etc. Erasable colored pencils may also be used.
A large sketchbook, preferably 14 x 17 or 18 x 24.
Tracing Paper - Master's Touch tracing paper, such as 11 x 14 sku# 218206, also available at
Hobby Lobby. This needs to be EXTREMELY transparent. You may also substitute a paper
such as Canson 11 x 14 tracing paper, 25 lb 40 gsm, sku# 671180 at Hobby Lobby. Avoid the
tracing paper at Michaels as it is not translucent enough.
Drafting tape or artist's tape
Exacto knife or a single edge razor blade, a pair of scissors.
A good compass and divider. Not all compass/dividers are created equal. You can purchase a set
from Hobby Lobby. A better set is available from Utrech Art Supplies, item #83005. Be sure to
purchase a compass that has the extension arm as we will be using it. Metal dividers, are also
available at Utrecht, item #83007. You may know this item as 'calipers.'

sku#628222. Purchase a large plastic triangles, such as the set at Hobby Lobby, sku# 954313.

use with egg tempera. We recommend that you purchase a set of Richeson Kalinsky sable
brushes from Madisonartshop.com item # JR21101, 29.99/set.
Containers for water for rinsing brushes at your work station.

Optional items
