Supply Suggestions for Open Studio Class
Upper Story Studio supplies many materials for art making in house, however for enthusiastic students taking the Open Studio class who enjoy working from home as well, the best scenario is likely for the student to supply basic materials of their own. These can absolutely be supplemented by in house supplies, but having one’s own ‘starter kit’ is a good idea that allows for practice and work outside of class. Here are a few basic suggestions for beginning materials to purchase:
A portable box or container for transporting art supplies
(fishing tackle boxes work especially well)
Pencils, erasers and sharpeners
Sketchbook
Any size
Basic set of paints
If student wishes to use paint regularly
Portable paint palette
Bag or portfolio to carry
work in progress
I am happy to recommend specific brands and products at individual request! I realize that there is a huge array of art supplies on the market, and choosing supplies can be daunting, but with a little guidance you can pick up the perfect materials to start with at a reasonable price.
