6. Additional masonite or plywood board panels (no bigger than 16"x16") or sculpture/ceramic, made of wood, plaster, or unglazed clay.

Optional:

1. Drawing or printmaking paper (100% rag), or pieces of unprimed linen or cotton canvas (the paper and canvas can be glued to wood/ masonite panels to give them an absorbent white ground)
2. White or off-white, absorbent, Japanese rice paper for mono-printing (several small sheets) to be used making mono-prints off the hot palette. Rice paper works the best.

*Painting supports for encaustic must be rigid and absorbent. You should not use stretched canvas or acrylic gesoed grounds. Rigid supports should be braced to prevent warming. **A limited supply of extra clayboard and luan panels will be available for purchase during the workshop.
