Brushes can be expensive – so you may want to look at my website http://www.birgitoconnor.com under (Brushes) for more information. In every class I discuss what’s the difference is and how it affects your paintings. Large brushes can hard to find and I do have the ones I like available in the workshops or online http://www.birgitoconnor.com/brushes.html If you planning on painting more than once consider the investment - I know you will love them. Brushes: Brushes I like are available on my website or through my workshops with a 30-35% discount. Many of the brushes I like are only sold in Europe. (May be limited due to inventory) http://www.birgitoconnor.com/brushes.html Pallet: I like pallets with a covered lid and shallow wells. Available online or in my local workshops. Problems finding a color go to http://www.birgitoconnor.com/birgitevents.html under discontinued colors. If you have Favorite colors bring them too. Sorry, no photos or video of demonstrations or artwork please, this can be distracting. Occasional photos may be allowed during the workshop, group photos will be allowed on the last day. (Art in the Mountains will take the traditional class photo Wednesday.) Sketches and reference material that is provided during the workshops are not to be used in competitions or for resale; these are intended only as learning tools.
