Painting Equipment Required
Jill says :
"I work mainly with water-colour, pencil, ink, charcoal and pastel, therefore the equipment list below is biased towards materials for water-colour and drawing. However, I have also worked with oils and acrylics so, if you wish to come to paint in those media, just ignore the list below and bring whatever materials you want!"
You need to bring:
Sketch pad (A5)
H and 2B Pencils + pencil sharpener and putty eraser
Fine drawing pens (005) - sepia and black

Masking fluid (not essential)
Watercolour brushes, sizes 6, 8, 12 (pointed)

Any other brushes you prefer
