Materials List for Visiting Artist Workshop: Dynamic Seascapes & Skies in Oil
Instructor: Douglas David
CLASS SUPPLY KITS
Great News! Oil Painting Supply Kits are now available through thIs link on BLICK. Douglas used to offer kits in class, but demand was too great to keep up with, so this is the better way to get all the correct materials for the workshop! You can click on the Blick link and order a kit in part or in its entirety, or
assemble the supplies on your own based on the BLICK list or the material list below.
(these are not absolute, just my way of getting to a good result)
