Supply List for Winter Wonderland

10PLEASE NOTE: Since this eCourse will include Christmas crafts, gifts and decorations to make, I will have a separate supply list for them each week. We will use items from the basic supply list (below), items from your craft stash or around the house, or very inexpensive supplies to purchase. And I promise they will be beautiful! 🙂

General Supply List:

  • Sketchbook (simple copy paper will do)
  • Watercolor paper (the best you can afford – this pad is my favorite or a Strathmore mixed media book
  • Art journal (homemade or purchased) I will have a video of how to make your own the first week.
  • 2 (or more) 8×10 canvases or canvas panels (or choose a variety of sizes). If panels are too expensive, consider purchasing an “Acrylic Pad” for some of the painting projects. These papers are texturized, having the same “tooth” as canvas, and will work well for most of our projects.
  • Wood blocks cut square from a 2×4 – scraps of wood from a building project?
  • Mechanical pencils
  • Kneaded eraser
  • Watercolors – this simple set will do
  • Acrylic craft paints in a variety of bold winter colors
  • Assorted paint brushes (you’ll use the same ones for acrylic & watercolor)
  • Foam brush
  • Black permanent ink pens – I prefer PITT Artist Pens or Micron Pens, but a Sharpie extra-fine point will work in a pinch
  • White gel pen – these are my favorite (& maybe a white fine-point Sharpie poster paint marker – water based only)
  • Gesso – this is what I use
  • Decoupage (matte finish)
  • Various decorative (scrapbooking) papers in beautiful winter & Christmas colors
  • Old hardcover book – we will use the pages and covers
  • Paper clay – I prefer this
