Supply List
Instructor: Sarah Rehmer
Email: info@rehmer-studio.com
There is a $10 supply fee due at first class for shared materials and special projects
Brushes:
Must be natural bristle- not synthetic
- Yasutomo Flat Hake Brush Series 3007 - 2.5” (Blick item #05408-5212)
- Natural bristle brushes with a metal ferrule
*** I like these sets from Dick Blick- https://www.dickblick.com/products/princeton- realvalue-brush-sets/ #9154 & #9131
Medium & Paint:
- R&F Encaustic Paint Starter Kit (Blick item #01101-3009)
*** if you don’t get the set, get the following colors- cad yellow medium, cad red medium, ultramarine blue, titanium white. You may wish to add onto this basic set as needed for your individual work needs
- 1 lb of R&F Encaustic Medium (Blick item #01100-1001)
- Soy wax for brush cleaning, can be gotten from craft stores rather than art supply
Pigment Sticks:
- R&F Blending Stick 38ML (clear), Mars Black 38ML, Titanium-Zinc White 38ML
Panels:
4-7 Ampersand Encausticbords. I suggest getting a mix of flat and cradled panels to get a feel for working on both types. Do not get panels larger than 11x14 unless you are a returning students please.
***(you may buy wood panels also. If you do, you must also purchase a small jar of R&F Encaustic Gesso and coat the panels prior to class)
All of these items can be ordered from dickblick.com or purchased at their area locations. They don’t always have a ton of the medium in stock, so ordering may be easier
Other Items:
Paper Towel- should be blue shop towels from hardware store or Viva brand paper towel
1 roll of 2” Scott Blue Painters Tape
2- very clean cans from Tuna or Chicken cans to melt your wax in or mini loaf pans. Should be light color metal and a flat bottom is best
roll of baker’s parchment paper, non coated
Various paper for collage (I will bring some in for use also) Dried and pressed plant materials (optional)
