ESSENTIAL (See note on **Painting Kits available):

If you do not have a painting kit, or wish to purchase materials suitable to attend multiple art workshops with Sonia, you are welcome to purchase one of Sonia's Art Painting Kits**.

1) Acrylic paints of the following or similar colours: Blue (I used Ultramarine Blue), White paint or white gesso, Red (I used Crimson), Green (I used Hookers Green), and Black.

2) Large round acrylic paintbrush (or a large flat brush), a small round brush for that has a well defined point, and a flat brush. If you don't have these exact brushes, use the closest options you have in your painting kit.

3) Palette knife

4) Palette surface to mix paints on, example: yogurt tub lid, or palette paper pad

5) A hair dryer

6) Painting Drop sheet or old towel to protect the table (we suggest placing a plastic lining directly on your table under the towel or drop sheet to protect it )

7) Wear an apron or clothes you won't mind getting a bit of paint on

8) Canvas or Canvas board approximately 30cm x 40cm (you can go larger or smaller)

FINISHING OFF YOUR ARTWORK

We recommend that after a period of approximately a week you apply two coats of varnish to your painting to lock in the colours and protect it from dust.

IMPORTANT TIP: We suggest you use spray-on acrylic clear varnish as the first coat of varnish to cover the artwork. Using a spray varnish will prevent any movement of paint which could happen if varnish is applied with a paint brush.
