Open Studio - What Do I Bring? Where Do I Place Myself?




I am starting an open studio painting class in December at the ASL in Denver. As it will be my first weekly class where I will be painting, I have a couple of questions for the Pros of painting from life in these open sessions:

1. What do you take with you - paints, brushes, solvents, supports, etc. And, what is generally supplied for you? Do you have a "set" of stuff that you use only for the open studio? Any tips on things that make it easier supply wise?

2. What influences where you choose to position yourself in the room? Do you like to be closer or farther from the model and why?
