Equipment Needed

  • Basic acrylic primary colours will be provided by Coolum Art,
    but as palette knife painting uses a lot of paint you may want to bring some of your own acrylic paint.
  • A4 Canvas pages will also be provided but you are welcome to bring your own small canvases.
  • Palette knife one small one bigger, see photo. Plastic ones are not suitable,
    the best are spring steel rather than stainless because they are more flexible, but hard to find.
  • Apron, it can get messy,
  • A palette, something flat and smooth, ceramic is easiest to clean up,
  • A cloth to clean up spills and paper towels,
  • Spray bottle with a fine mist.
