Please feel free to look at other class lists for general ideas of what materials for their chosen medium may be useful.

6 Think Pen & Ink Please bring: pencils of various hardnesses (a small student set is fine) kneaded eraser black india ink crow quill pen/ pen holders nibs of various sizes pen and ink paper sumi brush a few empty, resealable cups for water and ink mixtures (baby food jars work well)

8 Painting the Landscape in Watercolor, Acrylic, & Gouache Students are encouraged to bring whatever paints they feel most comfortable working in. If you already have watercolor, gouache, or acrylic paints there is no need to go out and buy more. If you are starting from scratch, a basic starter set of watercolor and, if you prefer, a set of either gouache or small tubes of acrylic (there is no need for both) will do. Watercolor paper can be expensive, but you also get what you pay for. A block of good quality watercolor paper, such as Arches 140 lb cold pressed, is a wonderful option if you want to invest. Otherwise please feel free to start off with a pad of watercolor paper (at least 9 x12 ) that is less expensive. Please also bring watercolor brushes of various sizes - again, it can be what you re used to working with, or, if you are a beginner, Flats in sizes #4, #6, #8 are a good start.
