Suggested supplies:   If you do not have some of these supplies at home, and it is difficult to get them you can get by with the materials you do have.

Watercolor paints: Indigo, *Ultramarine Blue, *Cadmium Red, *Cadmium Yellow, Raw Umber, Burnt Sienna, Sap Green, Alizarin Crimson Hue, Yellow Ochre, and Chinese White
Small (size 4), Medium (size8) and Large (size 12) round watercolor brushes.
140’ cold press paper watercolor paper.
Pencil and art gum eraser.
Foam board if not using Arches block paper. This is to secure your watercolor paper so that it does not buckle when wet. You will only need this by the 5th class. You can but the large piece of foam board in half for easier handling.
Masking tape to secure watercolor paper to hard surface.
Something for a palette, has to be white, like a top to whip cream or a white plate, not paper.
Container for water, cottage cheese container will do.
Large trash bag to use as drop cloth.
Paper towels, just a few.
Small sketch book or plain paper like copy paper for doing sketches.
Box, bag or something to put it all in.

This is the recommended list of supplies. You really only have to have 

a medium round (6 or 8) watercolor brush 
140 lb cold press watercolor paper
a water container
the red
yellow
blue tube watercolor paint (preferably at least student quality) pigment listed above, pencil
paper
erasure. 

All of the other while recommended can be purchased as you continue in the class if you prefer.

You may also want to have:

Masking fluid Drinking straw
Toothbrush Cheap brush to use with masking fluid
Small Spray Bottle Mask pen
Sketchbook Mask pick up
Ruler White gouache or white acrylic paint
Folder for handouts Sea sponge
Elegant Writer, black, calligraphy pen Salt

* items are the only required colors.

A word about purchasing your watercolor supplies:

If you are not sure if you will continue doing watercolors or just want to take it slow, I recommend beginning with student grade watercolor supplies. You can always upgrade to artist quality gradually.

A good student grade watercolor paper is Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper and you can find that at Hobby Lobby, Fred Meyers and Michaels. You should probably purchase a size about 12" X 15". Good student grade watercolors are VanGogh found at Hobby Lobby or Cotman found at Michaels. You want to look for brushes that are medium priced and are a blend of natural and synthetic. Michael’s has Cotman and Robert Simmons which are both good quality brushes. I don't know if you can find Princeton or not in Albany or Corvallis, but if you can find Princeton 4050 they are good without being expensive. I know Dick Blick has them online.

If you want artist quality, Arches 140 lb cold press paper is excellent and you can find full sheets at Hobby Lobby. You can then cut these sheets down to the size you want, just be careful handling all watercolor paper as your fingers leave oil on the paper and shows up when you paint.

Windsor Newton is artist quality paint but very expensive. It can be found at Hobby Lobby and Michaels. M Graham is also artist quality paint and can be found at The Frame Shop on First Street as well as Arches paper.

Dick Blick, Daniel Smith, and American Journey and many other artist quality brands of watercolor paint are sold online as well as many other brands of paper and brushes.

Hope you find this helpful, but if you have any other questions regarding the class content or supplies, please call or email me.

I am looking forward to meeting you,

Suggested supplies:   If you do not have some of these supplies at home, and it is difficult to get them you can get by with the materials you do have.

You only need ONE MEDIUM for any of my classes.

Below are suggested supplies for all students and then specifically for different mediums of painting. 

Supplies for All Students

Pencils: 4 Ticonderoga brand pencils (No.2, soft, HB)
They come in black as well as the familiar yellow
Eraser: a white rubber block eraser, any brand 
Paper: good quality copier (bond) paper, 24 lb. wt. Is preferred but 20 lb. bond works fine. 
Office Works and Georgia Pacific are good quality.
We’ll need at least 4 pieces of paper for each lesson. 
4x6 card or old 4x6 photo print: we’ll use this to draw around on an 8.5x11” piece of paper to make a 4x6 rectangle. Many of our drawings and designs will use this format. 
Straight edge or ruler: for when we want straight lines. 
If you’re making your own, make it 2”x12” out of mat board. 
Shaders: these are handy but if you can’t find them it’s okay, I’ll be showing everyone how to make a shading tool by folding a 3” square piece of paper towel. 
I’ve seen shaders at Michael’s and Fred Meyers. 
Paper towel: 2 sheets of any brand. 

All Painters 

WAIT FOR THE FIRST CLASS INSTRUCTIONS before putting any watercolor paint into your Pike Watercolor Palette, or acrylic into your Masterson Palette Seal.  
Ignore (recycle) the instruction sheet that comes with the Pike Palette, using that info will damage your palette.  
I've done extensive testing on all the colors on these lists and they are all "lightfast rated" at level I or II.  Lightfast means resistant to fading when exposed to UV light (sunlight, fluorescents w high UV).

The colors and palette and paper are less expensive at Blick Art Materials, also known as dickblick.com. Brushes are good buys at Michael’s on 9th St. in Corvallis.

Watercolors

Cotman brand, 8 ml tubes:

Alizarin Crimson Hue   
Cad Orange Hue 
Cad Red Pale Hue 
Cad Yel Hue 
Intense Pthalo Blue 
Viridian Hue 
Lemon Yellow Hue (you’ll need two 8ml OR one 21 ml of lemon yel.)

Cotman brand, 21 ml tubes: 

Lemon Yellow Hue              
Ultramarine Blue                                                                  
Permanent Rose 

Additional Supplies: 

Watercolor Palette: Pike Palette  (Original, 20 wells)  - This is the only palette I can recommend.  
Watercolor Paper: Arches 140# Cold Press 100% cotton.   I will have pre-cut 1/8 sheets (7.5x11”) to sell to my class for $1 per sheet, both sides are usable.  Please do NOT buy any other type of “watercolor” paper.  There is a huge difference in how these papers perform, visible even to my granddaughter when she was four years old!  Please only buy Arches cold press 100% cotton for watercolor.  For students in Corvallis area, I will sell 7.5x11" sheets of 140# watercolor paper for $1 each.  They can be picked up and paid for at my house, with masks and physical distance.  Arches watercolor blocks are handy but a bit more expense.  On a watercolor block you paint on the top sheet and strip off that sheet after the watercolor has dried flat.

Acrylic Painters

Liquitex colors (one each of the following)

Yellow Light Hansa
Quinacridone Magenta 2 oz  or 59 ml  
Pthalo Blue (Grn. Shade) 59 ml  
Pthalo Green (Blu. Shade) 59 ml 
Utramarine Blue (Gr. Shade) 59 ml 
Dioxazine Purple 59 ml 
Napthol Crimson 59 ml 
Alizarin Crimson Hue Perm. 59 ml  
Titanium White 4.65 oz. or 138 ml  (this is a larger tube because you need more white that any other color)

Utrecht colors  (one each of the following):

Hansa yellow med   =  Medium Yellow 2 oz or 59 ml 6.13
Napthol red light  = Cad Red Lt Hue 2 oz or 59 ml  6.13

Additional supplies: 

Masterson Palette Seal 1 3/4x16x12”  This is a sealable palette which can keep your acrylic paint wet and usable for weeks.  Get the one with the blue lid, the other (red) one has a sponge layer and palette paper which are not needed.
One #10 Steel Palette Knife (has a broad teardrop shaped blade), for mixing paint in your palette. (Michael’s or Blick).  Don’t get the cheaper plastic ones, they’re fragile and don’t have a sharp enough edge to scrape dried paint out of your palette.
I recommend the Arches for Acrylic painters as well.  You can paint directly on this “paper” without priming with gesso. But other supports work with acrylic as well:  museum matboard (scraps may be purchased from a frame shop, Pegasus Gallery on 2nd St., Corvallis, has them packaged for sale.)  Acrylic may also be painted on canvas paper, or canvas boards, or stretched canvas. Blick sells a nice product for acrylic or oil painters: “Blick Studio Canvas Pad  9x12”, 10 sheets of real canvas, triple primed w gesso.”

For BOTH Watercolor AND  Acrylic Painters

PUMP SPRAYER - Holbein Watercolor Atomizer Bottle (from Blick) or an 8 oz. “Artist’s Loft” spray bottle from Michael’s. This is a fine-mist sprayer, not the harsher plant sprayer.  Hair/skin care products sometimes come in those fine-mist spray bottles, and they smell nice!  Save one for your painting supplies.
MASKING TAPE: buy at Fred Meyers paint department. #2050 General Purpose Masking Tape, 1 inch wide (.94 in.)  Please don’t buy the cheaper generic masking tapes, the adhesive breaks down and leaves a sticky residue on your paper.
BRUSHES for WATERCOLOR and ACRYLIC (from Michael’s on 9th St., Corvallis.  Look for these in the economy acrylic brush section)
1/2” Brush:  Royal & Langnickel Soft Grip, Level 1, 1/2” Shader
3/4” Brush:  Royal & Langnickel Soft Grip, Level 1, 3/4” Wash

There’s another aisle at Michael’s that has package deals on brushes.  You can look for the clear handle Royal & Langnickel type and get a variety of brushes including the two listed above.

Oil Painters

Get the color equivalents of the acrylic list of colors.  You can also use the Masterson Palette Seal but might want to buy a pad of palette paper to go inside the Masterson Palette Seal.  
Solvent: Turpenoid Natural ONLY. No mineral spirits, No turpentine in the classroom.
Supports:  
“Blick Studio Canvas Pad  9x12”, 10 sheets of real canvas, triple primed w gesso.” or canvas panels (9x12”), or gesso-primed matboard or gesso-primed watercolor paper.  
A few different styles and sizes of palette knives.  
Bristle brushes are stiff and appropriate for the direct technique that I teach.  I use a variety of sizes of brights and filbert type bristle brushes.

In this class students can explore different mediums and technology to create their comics. Students can work with a sketchbook and pencil, as well as learn about digital drawing tools. Students should use tools and materials that will inspire them to draw and explore their creative work. Through the class, the instructor will review how different materials and tools can be used.

Here are suggestions for tools and materials that can be used in this class:

Traditional Media - Pen & Paper drawing

Paper/ Sketchbook:

Paper of any kind can be used, including lined notebook paper or printer paper.
Recommended: Mixed Media paper in a spiral bound sketchbook (such as Canson XL Mixed Media) is highly versatile for dry media (not watercolor) and can handle most inking pens. 

Pencil/ Pens:

A drafting pencil or basic wood pencil (hardness: 2B or H) is perfect for light sketches.
Inking Pen suggestions (for darkening and finishing drawings):
Papermate Flair M in black
Micron Archival Ink (03, 05, 08) in black or sepia
Sharpie ultra fine
Copic Sketch .Too (dual tip) in 100 black (this may bleed through Mixed Media paper)

Coloring tools

Adding color to comics is optional, and there are many options for dry media:
Markers (water-based if using Copic, Sharpie, or Micron inking pens; alcohol-based if using Papermate Flair M)
Colored pencils
Illustration ink
Crayons
Pastels

Instructor:  Vikki Nazarenus

Suggested supplies:   If you do not have some of these supplies at home, and it is difficult to get them you can get by with the materials you do have.

Supply List:  

Drawing pencil – or large primary pencil (fat pencil that kids learn to write with - much cheaper!)
Kneadable eraser – usually gray – FABER CASTELL
Colored pencils -  Prismacolor, Dick Blick, Steatler, Arteza
Elegant Writers/Markers
Crayons
Oil Pastels
White drawing paper
Colored paper
Black Sharpie or permanent marker, 1 fine, 1 thick
Q-Tips
Brown grocery bags
Metallic colored pencils (optional)
Compass

You don’t need all of these supplies the first week.  (Art is an expensive habit!)   You will need the regular pencil, eraser and sharpener the first four/five weeks of class. I would suggest going to Hobby Lobby or Michael’s once a week and use the 40% coupon for the items as you want them or need them, rather than buying all at once.  And if you already have the supplies – bring what you have.

 Suggested supplies:   If you do not have some of these supplies at home, and it is difficult to get them you can get by with the materials you do have.

Basic set of soft stick pastels, preferably artist quality, that include the following colors: ultramarine blue, prussian blue, cerulean blue, purple, light purple, cadmium red, light red of some kind, an orange, yellow ochre, a dark and a light yellow, olive green, sap green, yellow green, grey green, blue grey, a medium grey, burnt umber, raw umber and burnt sienna.
Canson Mi-Teintes paper Pad-24 sheets assorted colors 12X16 inches.  
One of two pieces of 140 lb Arches watercolor paper 12X16 inches.
Two hard pastel pencils,  one dark and one light in color for drawing your subject onto your paper. 
Watercolors of your choice and watercolor brushes. 
Kneaded eraser.
Soft brush, you can use a makeup brush that you purchase at the Dollar store if you like. 
Masking tape and something to tape your pastel paper onto like foam board.  
A plastic table cloth or something to put under you to catch the pastel dust as you work as soft pastels are messy.  
Something to keep your pastels in if they do not come in a container. You want to keep the colors separate. You might consider an egg carton. 
Workable spray fixative.  This is optional but you might find it makes working a little easier.  
An exacto knife for sgraffito effects.  
Pastels can be combined with oil pastels, acrylics, oil paints, charcoals, watercolors and gouache and probably other mediums I haven’t mentioned such as, caran d’ ache.  If you have any of these then we will be discussing how to combine soft pastels with these other mediums.   

I have found Merri Artist to have the best prices and very fast turn around when you order online or over the phone.   Merri Artist is located in McMinnville if you would like to go and visit the store in person.

Suggested supplies:   If you do not have some of these supplies at home, and it is difficult to get them you can get by with the materials you do have.

Equipment:

Cutting board - preferably plastic.  I’m not a fan of wood for new learners (it can catch the blade) - but if that’s all you have, don’t go out and buy a new board! 
Wet dish cloth or a piece of non-slip grippy shelf liner (that meshy tacky stuff you can put in your drawers)... we will put it under our cutting boards.  Game changer.
Bring your knives!  Whatever you have.  Let’s talk about them, and let’s play.  Hopefully, you have a Chef’s knife and a paring knife. 
Optional:  bowls or bags to put cut vegetables in… or you can just leave them all over your counter :)
 

Groceries/Food:

Carrots  - 7
Zucchini - 4
Onion - 2
Potatoes - 2
Celery stalks - 2
Basil leaves or spinach leaves - handful
Garlic cloves - 2 - 3
Large orange - 1

**these are the minimum requirements for groceries… if you think you might “mess up” or would like extra practice, or would like to just have extras on hand in case we try something not planned, please plan accordingly (in other words, I might suggest having some extras!)

Supplies 

Large bowl or container to hold your loose flowers
1-12” or 14” long lei needle 
See link to Etsy:  Lei Needle Kit 
If you have any questions about the lei needle, please contact for additional options.
Waxed twine (thin) or waxed dental floss
You can also use regular white thread if that’s all you have on hand
A measuring tape
Soft sewing type if you have it; otherwise a small hardware type is ok
Pen and paper for notes and a black permanent marker
Toothpicks (2)
2 large bunches of flowers in any color 
Student will purchase
You want firm flowers, nothing too fragile or anything that will wilt too quickly. Costco is by far the best bet for reasonable bulk flowers for the price, but you can find great flowers on sale at any of the local supermarkets, so start there.
NOTE: Purchase your flowers no more than two days before the class (the day before is better). Keep them in either a cold area (a garage is excellent; place stems of flowers in a bucket of water)
Any of these types of flowers listed below will work:
Roses - ensure the buds are closed and tight as possible: none in full bloom
You will need at least 2 dozen stemmed
Carnations, regular size i - try to find mostly bloomed flowers, not closed
You’ll need at least 50; you may have some left over
Note: if you have mini carnations, you’ll need double the amount - at least 100.
Orchids - these are usually in stemmed branched bouquets
May might be too early in the season -- usually you’ll see them in June
Depending on the size of the orchids, you’ll need anywhere between 50-100 blooms.
