Please find below a list of all the materials I currently use and love.
Easel
My favourite easel ever: A Hughes easel, model 3000.
I also use a small table easel from Jacksons for workshops but also in my studio for smaller work. My old Mabef easel comes out for workshops or when I need to work on two large pieces at the same time.
Paint
My favourite paints are Langridge Oils and Vasari Oils. Also love Michael Harding paint and quite a few other brands (see here for my favourites).
Brush Cleaner
I clean my brushes with Master’s Brush Cleaner (when I remember ahem). During painting I just wipe on some kitchen towelling.
Palette
My palette is a wonderful grey disposable paper palette from New Wave. I love the fact it has no thumbhole as I don’t hold it but keep it next to me.
Linen Boards
At the moment I like using Jackson’s linen boards as I prefer a rigid surface but also the fine texture of linen.
Pastel Paper
My favourite pastel paper is Art Spectrum Colourfix Traditional. See also this blog post about pastel papers.
Ask me what else I use and I will add it here!
