Pens: Bring your favorite pens, including a few small Brause (N02) nibs 1 mm and smaller, PLUS a large folded brass FLAT pen (1/4" or 5/16" Horizon from Paper & Ink is ideal; Coit, Hiro or similar are okay; Automatic (N27) is too sharp, but will work with a light touch).
Flat Brush: 1/2" W/N Series 995 (BR01) flat brush or similar (clear handle, gold bristles).
Pointed Brush: W/N Series 7 (BR28), #3 (or 4 or 5); a Pentel Color Brush (FP57) or similar; plus other pointed brushes you like to use.
Ruling Pens: Any ruling pens or "cola pens" you ALREADY HAVE. Many versions will be dis¬cussed in class, and you can buy the model that appeals to you after the introduction and the opportunity to try each of them.
Paper: 3 teachers/3 paper suggestions. Have one of these the first morning, then shop for more as we get going: Carl likes large paper (11" x 14", 14" x 17", or larger) with a bit of tooth (texture like STRATHMORE Charcoal Pads is great for flat brush as well as pen and pointed brush). Georgia would like you to have a 14" x 17" pad or larger of semi-transparent paper that's also good for writing (P12). She likes 360 Bienfang Marker Paper (P47). One of Julian's paper secrets is the use of coated printing pa¬pers, especially for ruling pen strokes with ultra smooth edges. Easiest source is a 12"x18" pad of Finger Painting Paper from any art store. Or: http://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Fin¬ger-Paint-Paper/dp/B000ID2YBW. PLUS any fancier papers you might want to work on– Canson Ingres (PS05) or Mi Tientes (PS61), Bugra (PS21), watercolor, etc.
Ink: Non-waterproof Ink e.g. Higgins Eternal (I08), Higgins Sepia Calligraphy (I97) [but NOT Higgins Calligraphy], Walnut Ink (I53), Noodler's, Private Reserve, etc.
Paint: A tube or two of gouache. W/N Jet Black (WNG335), Indigo (WNG322) and Prussian Blue (WNG538) have excellent texture and power. A jar of Pro White (I62) or Dr. Martin's Bleed-proof White (I38) &/or tube of light or bright gouache and black or colored paper if you wish to write in reverse.
PLUS: Pencil &/or colored pencils (S528, S529), a ruler (S270, S271), water, palette (S679, S723) & container for mixing.
AND: Georgia would also like you to bring some of your handwriting as a starting point for a series of exercises. It can be a letter or a grocery list or a copy of a journal page, something when you aren't thinking about writing "nicely". We're not looking for good-looking italic handwriting here. It's okay if it's very messy– we won't be reading it. Take your hand¬writing example and enlarge it on a copier. Double it – 200% and then double that one – so this last copy will be 400%. (If your enlargements are not exactly this, it's ok.)
