Supply List

These are the supplies that Michéle uses herself, and links are provided for your convenience. However, Please always feel free to substitute items with supplies you already have in your studio!

Supplies for Making the Drawings:

• India ink
• a pad of Strathmore 400 Series drawing paper (we will be drawing A LOT!)
• Tjanting Tool: Be sure to get the small tip.
• Brushes of various sizes, watercolor brushes work well (I use sizes 0-4 a lot)
• Bamboo pen
• Micron Pens
• Small sticks from your yard or walks
• Small set of gouache. I use the 12 color set. I’m including the less expensive smaller set as another option too… or you can simply use watercolors (though white gouache is important!).
• optional: gold acrylic paint for small details
• To cut down paper to smaller sizes: a metal ruler, cutting mat and Exacto or Olfa Knife (OR, a paper cutter)
• studio supplies such as containers for water (something that won’t easily tip over), baby wipes and paper towels, container for mixing paint (like a small yogurt container)
• 2-3 small containers with lids for india ink
