*********************************************** The Painting Room: Monthly demonstrations, critics and consultations
110 A Fell Ave (Corner of Fell and 1st) 778-987-5418
Address particulars- I am in a building called Derosa Automotive, 2nd floor. On the North East corner. Look for a door facing the street with no number, however, if I am expecting you, there will be a sign or two.
This series of workshops and consultations are constructed for the artist who requires support, additional information and critics in their projects. The workshop will be structured as hands-on demonstration and with conclusion of peer and instructor critics. Beginners are welcome, however, expectation to the dedication of acrylic painting mandatory.

LIST OF VERY IMPORTANT SUPPLIES
Here is a list of supplies that I think make up the complete Painting kit.
Kroma Paints 10 colours -
excellent quality artists’ acrylics
Kroma offers the best deal in terms of a complete package with excellent quality and pricing.
www.kromapaints.com
1649 Duranleau St. Granville Island, Vancouver bc 604-669-4030
Kroma does a great box of paints with all the colours nessessary - Kroma is like the candyshop of paint so be careful! Tip: look at the discount paint selection.
Another great brand for the price is Tri-art from Opus Framing and Art Supplies.
Here are the suggested colours:
Titanium White
Iron oxide black (mars)
Yellow oxide
Raw umber
Hansa yellow light
Hansa yellow medium
Ultramarine blue
Phthalo blue
Naphthol light red
Quincridone red
To note: sometimes an arylide yellow is suggested in place of the hansa light as the hansa yellow and hansa medium are so similar in hue.
Small detail brush set
Selection of larger brushes - variety of shapes
Supports: (what to paint on) canvas, masonite boards, canvas paper or multi media project board.
A SKETCHBOOK is your journal in painting, it is a place to make a quick study of colour and observations of life - everyday.

Cotton rags
Small jars for extra mixed paint and mediums
Palettes – you can use a ceramic plate (easiest to wash) plastic, plexi glass, or recycled lids and plastic plates.
