What You Need

Camera—For Process Painting and Paint From Your Soul you need a zoom-enabled device with a camera (ie: computer, ipad, or phone). For Process Painting, situate the camera approximately 45 degrees off your shoulder so I can see both you and your painting.

Paint—Tempera paints for Process Painting. Acrylic paints for Paint From Your Soul.

Brushes—Just one brush can get you started, but you’ll want an array of shapes and sizes!

Paper—for Process Paiting, the bigger the better. 16x20” Canvas for Paint From Your Soul.

Easel Area—For Process Painting you can lean an old flat door or tape brown paper to your wall. Paint From Your Soul can be done on a table or easel.

Water—a few cups of water to swash your brushes before dipping into a new color.

Rags—for dabbing and spills.

Lighting—Good lighting from both sides will improve your experience by eliminating shadows.

Surface—A side table or stool is an easy way to have what you need beside you.

Masking tape—for taping your paper to wall and to add paper if your painting needs to expand in Process Painting. I prefer the green tape #2060.

I’ll send an uncomplicated materials list when you sign up for PFYS workshops/classes. I’d be glad to have a look at your set-up via zoom and we can tweak it as necessary. Questions are welcome: thepaintingportal@gmail.com
