Canvases or canvas boards, nothing larger than 12x16, also, several 6 x 8 panels for quick studies. Gay prefers to work on a canvas ground, but bring what you’re comfortable painting on. If you are using a cotton (gessoed) canvas panel, you might want to do a quick spray of retouch varnish on those to keep them from being so absorbent, It helps to create a smoother surface to move your paint.
Brushes --- Filberts or brights or a combination of --- sizes --- 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 & 12 are recommended. Bring along your brushes that you’re comfortable with as well. Medium to large sizes are preferred. Synthetic and sables are too soft for getting enough paint on your canvas. Gay recommends bristles. She is currently using "Escoda series 4528 filberts", great brushes if you can find them or order them. #8,12,14 16 and a 22. There are plenty of good short filberts in other brands as well. Sables are generally too soft for Gay's format of painting.

About the instructor: Gay Faulkenberry has been a force on the American art scene for more than two decades. Known for her impressionistic approach to color and light, she is renowned for plein-air paintings of urban and rural landscapes and for studio paintings of intimate still lifes, florals, and interiors.
A native Oklahoman, where she continues to live, Faulkenberry was raised throughout the West and has traveled extensively in Europe. Luminous color made an imprint on Faulkenberry, who worked in watercolors from childhood through her studies at Southwestern State and Oklahoma State universities. Focused on detailed dry-brush renderings of homes with architectural ornamentation, she first encountered alla prima paintings on several trips to Taos in the late 1970s. Her transition to oils was facilitated by independent studies with Russian master Sergei Bongart.

“I remain a student of art, always reaching for higher levels of excellence,” she says. “However, it is the artist’s job to discover his or her personal voice in creating a language that communicates beyond words.”
For the past decade, Faulkenberry has been a popular instructor herself, conducting workshops throughout the United States and abroad. As a mentor, she shares her insights and technical expertise in using the eyes, heart, head, and hand in translating the joy of life onto canvas. She also encourages her students to see and study art by past masters, including artists who have influenced her: the bravura brushwork of Nicolai Fechin and John Singer Sargent, William Merritt Chase’s attention to textures and colors indoors and out.
Faulkenberry’s work has been featured in leading art publications, and she is frequently asked to jury art shows. Her work is represented in corporate, private, and museum collections across the country. A Signature Member of the prestigious Plein-Air Painters of America since 1996, she served as PAPA president and spokesperson in 2008-2009. She is a Master Member of American Women Artists
