Pat Dews - Great Starts, Great Finishes
• Wear old paint clothes - we use everything and you will never work the same again!
• Bring your own photos (preferably close-ups of good abstract shapes/designs) and 2 failed paintings (full sheets).
• Paper: 10 full sheets of your favorite full sheet (22" x 30") watercolor paper. I will be using Rives BFK printmaking paper (white, heavy weight - (CJ's sells this in pkgs. of 5, Kilimanjaro (CJ's) 140lb. CP.
• Paints: I use inks, tube and liquid acrylics and watercolors interchangeably. I switch to acrylics after the initial painting starts. You need some acrylic paints for second stages and great techniques.
• CJ's American Journey Watercolors: I will be using Coastal Fog, Copper Kettle, Pat's Coastal Blue, Cerulean Blue and others for my demonstrations. Bring your favorites.
• Acrylics: I am very fond of Burnt Sienna, Phthalo Blue, Raw Sienna, Neutral Gray, Titan Buff and Trans. Gold Oxide (SQ). I use Stephen Quiller, Liquitex and Golden acrylics (tube or jar, professional, high viscosity). Bring your favorites.
• Golden Airbrush Colors: Titanium White - NY Central (800-950-6111)
• Inks: Dr. Martin's Tech Inks: Available in 1oz. bottle. I recommend - Antelope, Indigo, Turquoise and Orange. (CJ'S)
• Dr. Ph. Martin's Bombay India Ink - Magenta, Brown, Black (CJ'S)
• FW Acrylic Inks: Available in 1 oz. bottles. I recommend Flame Orange, Turquoise, Indigo, Purple Lake and Black (CJ's)
• Brushes: synthetic flats, brights and filberts (Jack Richeson & Co., Inc.), foam brushes (wood handle - firm, not flimsy), 2" Robert Simmons Skyflow (I couldn't paint without it) and a toothbrush.
• Brayer - a printmaking tool - hard surface
• Scissors
• Atomizer: I use a custom made atomizer - I spray through texture elements, stencils and over objects (leaves, branches). A custom made atomizer (Pat Dews' Atomizer) is available from Cheap Joe's Art Stuff. An inexpensive commercial atomizer is also available (CJ's). If you have a lung problem, you can use a flat surfaced toothbrush for spatter techniques.
• Waxed paper, Stretch-tite plastic food wrap, a small natural sponge, alcohol in a spray bottle (an empty Chloraseptic throat spray bottle works great - need a firm, not fine mist, paper towels, water container, painter's tape, open weave fabric, lace, cheesecloth, grid fabric (used for hooking rugs), bubble pack - and anything else you think would make good texture. Have a lot and large pieces of each type. They remain on the starts until they dry and we do at least 5 starts.
• The Materials To Use For Making Texture Are Very Important! Look in fabric stores, thrift shops, Dollar Stores and at yard sales.
• White Gesso - You need this. I also use Black Gesso
• Liquitex Gloss Medium & Varnish - works best with alcohol techniques.
• A mat for viewing a full sheet is very helpful. This makes critiquing much faster.
• Painting board - If you are traveling by car, you want to bring one.
• Collage pieces - are used to show ways to finish.

Margaret Dyer – The Figure in Pastels
• Portable easel (you may not need to bring your own easel, please call work­shop host to see if they have easels).
• Small tablee to put pastels upon.
• 10 pieces of paper (your choice): Canson Mi Tientes, Art Spectrum, Sen­nellier La Carte paper, Wallis, or similar paper (grey, middle-tone). Canson is the cheapest. The others are pretty pricey.
• Old t-shirt or towel for knocking down initial charcoal drawing (only if using Canson paper).
• Vine charcoal
• Compressed charcoal or dark Nu­Pastel (black or brown).
• Backboard and clips (Foam core is
cheap and lightweight).
• Soft Pastels – 60 or more (Rembrandt, Grumbacher, Schmincke, Unison, Art Spectrum, etc.) or see www.margaret­dyer.com/colors.html for individual stick suggestions.
