YOUR CANVAS AND ALL PAINTS AND ARE INCLUDED IN THE MATERIALS FEE. Paints are handmade by Eric in the same way they were made in the 17th century!

Eric has gone to extraordinary lengths to create this experience for us all. He has researched the materials used by 17th century artists. The paints you will be using in this workshop. For example, he found a 19th century piano with real ivory keys. He carbonized the ivory in a galvanized pipe, ground the carbon into pigment, and made a real 17th century ivory black pigment. The depth and paint quality when you see this pigment on a painting in person is incredible.
