B2783. The Calligraphic Line by Hans-Joachim-Burgert. trans. by Brody Neuenschwander.
Pen/Pencils/Brushes: Your usual calligraphy supplies; at least three unusual tools of vary¬ing sizes; small loading brush (BR37); Mitchell #6 nib (N04) – and other nibs sizes, and types, too! Mi¬cron (M17) pens or equivalent. I like 005 or 01 size; "Cola" pen (we will make one if you don't have one); several large brushes for acrylics (not precious ones); about 4-5 sponges for applying paint; several small good watercolor brushes--both flat and pointed if you have them.
Ink/Paint: Sumi Ink–try Moon Palace (I70); 3 to 6 tubes of acrylic paint, I suggest double primaries plus white; gouache (WNGxxx); watercolors (WNxxx); gesso (S675 – S678).
Paper: 3 full sheets of Arches Text Wove (PS01) we may need more, but Brenda will be there to keep us well-supplied!
Misc: Picture(s) of something personally meaning¬ful; a color copy of a piece of art you love; water containers (S731); photocopies for photo transfer (use Xerox, not a laser printer); artist or masking tape; brayer (S587, S588) if you have one; linen or decorative thread (S351, S352, S353) for journal; X-acto knife (S621, S662); bone folder (S279, S308); 4 book-binding needles (S213, S218, S219); paper towels; anything else in your usual kit.
Don't worry about buying special things for this class. If you have paper and ink and a few paints, you are good to go. You can bor¬row from me, and others are usually more than willing to share.
