supply list

The supplies needed to create this piece are fairly simple and you will probably have many of them already.  It’s also the kind of lesson where supplies can easily be substituted for those you have on hand.  Let’s gather our supplies and begin!

  • Matte Medium + small brush for adhering collage paper
  • Gouache – in a color that coordinates with your collage paper + black.  I used Winsor & Newton Designers Gouache in Sap Green, Ivory Black and White.  This may be substituted for other wet media of your choice e.g. Fluid or Hi-flow acrylics, watercolor.  Results may vary but explore and experiment!
  • Vine or Willow Charcoal + tissue for blending
  • Charcoal Pencil, I used a General’s 2B (med)
