Indoor Still Life

• 5 Canvases or Canvas Boards (size suggestions: 11x14 or 12x16) I use Raymar smooth cotton canvas panels raymarart.com – but any type will do.
• Vine Charcoal - Thin Extra Soft (not compressed charcoal or charcoal pencils)
• Palette - can be wood, plastic, glass or even Parchment paper and tape!
• Palette knife - A medium-sized flexible diamond shaped blade such as RGM 44, Leow-Cornell J-2 4
• Brushes – Optional. I prefer filberts and flats, small rounds for detail.
• Odorless Mineral Spirits – This is only if you plan to use brushes. A small can is fine.
• Paper Towels (Bounty)

• Oil Paints – any brand (small tubes except White) I use Windsor Newton, Gamblin and Rembrant
