  • Miscellaneous: Wet painting carrier, paper towels, paint scraper, garbage bags, stainless steel leak-proof brush washer
  • Turps: If you use turps, you must use Gamblin Gamsol. Because of allergies and other health issues, we cannot allow other mineral spirits or turps in the Studio. Other solvents are inferior and have an odor.
  • Tarp:  Some venues require a tarp to protect the floors or tables for indoor classes…and if we must paint indoors due to bad weather. Sometimes a tarp is not required….so be sure to ask about this in advance. Tarps can be purchased inexpensively from hardware stores and other venues.
