Recommended Materials: For this retreat, I'll be painting on professional panels by Artefex, which provide the perfect surface for alla prima oil painting in both the studio and outdoors. I've created an Exclusive Artefex Panel Bundle specifically for this workshop, featuring my favorite surfaces in sizes 9x12, 11x14, 12x12, and 12x16. These panels are available in both 533 and 537 types, offering smooth, archival-quality painting surfaces ideal for portraiture and alla prima techniques.
