Art Hollidays in Paradise
Don't forget your sun screen and a hat or visor. If you have any
questions, please feel free to email me! Suggested Art Supply vendors:
(a board on which you will attach your paper).
I suggest gatorboard in white, which comes in different
sizes. You can cut it to fit into the bottom of your suitcase
sandwich the watercolor paper
between the gatorboard and a piece of foamcore, cut to the
same size as the gatorboard. The gatorboard is very light weight.
you want to
keep your supplies small and light as space on tte boat is limited. You will also need a lightweight stool
or something to sit on while painting, holding your paper support on your lap. Your paper should
be a little smaller in size than your support.
The size of 
br>
For watercolor I recommend Arches watercolor paper.
Please bring a variety of H's and B's and /or colored pencils.
I recommend the yellow Koh-I -Noor (this is a brand name) eraser
for colored pencils. You will need a nice smooth paper for drawing
such as Arches hot press watercolor paper, Lenox, or Stonehenge.
Daniel Smith sells this. If you prefer a drawing pad, spiral sketch
books are nice. If you want to incorporate some washes with your
sketches, you can use the American Journey
You will need a container of water on location as well as a wide bottom plastic container
for holding water as you
work.
You should have a good size white plastic palette with a lid. If your palette is new,
scrub
it several times with cleanser and a little water to rough the
surface a bit. This will prevent beading when you mix washes.
A spritzer bottle is a must, as the air will dry the paint quickly.
Brushes:
Pure Sable : One inch flat and a variety of small
brushes 1" - 8"
You will need a warm and a cool red (such as cadmium and alizarin
crimson), a warm and a cool yellow (such as lemon and cadmium),
yellow ochre, hookers green or a nice transparent green, ultramarine
blue, cerulean blue, plus other blues to your liking,
burnt sienna,
burnt umber and any other colors that you are used to using. br>
A 8.5"x11" pad of inexpensive white sketching paper,
a pad that is spiral bound, and will take pencil,
ink, and light washes, if you are using watercolor. This will
be used for planning and
an HB graphite pencil, a small
pencil sharpener that will sharpen all of the pencils, a Staedtler
plastic eraser (cut a small triangular piece from the corner for
erasing small areas), a pen or two if you like to work with ink.
(pens in airplanes: store them
in ziplock plastic bags and carry them in your carry on. I have
had pens leak that are packed in a suitcase!)
Some paper towels on location for cleaning fingers, a roll of
drafting tape, (not masking tape)
In
the event of rain, please bring some of your own photos for imagery
sources from which to work.

Usually art suppliers require four to six weeks shipping time
if the materials are being sent outside of the United States.
Therefore, be sure to order your supplies very early. Also, try
your local art supply stores, like Pearl, or Michael's..
