How to prepare your art studio

• Place your canvas or art board firmly firmly upright next to your palette and paints.

• Place internet device on a large table with your paints so that you can easily use what you have.

• Your device should be upright and opposite your artwork so that David can see your artwork.

• Your camera and microphone work needs to work well on your device.

• Place the paints (oil or acrylic) in this colour order by your palette:

  • Primary- yellow, red, blue

  • Secondary - green, orange, purple

  • Then tertiary colours - brown, pink etc.

  • Then black & white. (White is very important to have)

• Have a good volume of paint eg at least 250 - 500ml or more of each colour.

• Place the brushes in order from small to large. (if you’re able to - label them 1, 2, 3 etc so that you can recognise them)

• 1 pot of water to clean brushes, and a paper or old cloth

• A ruler and sponge if you have this- don’t worry if not.

• A black and silver pen if you have this - don’t worry if not.

• Good light in the room if possible, and a magnifier if required.

• Please be somewhere where there is good internet signal.

• Have any other resources at hand if you need them for accessibility such as hearing aids if you having hearing issues.

• Feel free to have a drink and nibbles/food during the sessions.

• You can have music on in the background if you wish, but please remember that the sessions do rely on you being able to hear my voice well enough.
