What does a Fine Art student have in their kit?
What are you studying?
Fine Art: Painting at University of the Arts London
What are your memories of using Winsor & Newton materials?
Using the Promarkers in my drawings on my foundation course!
What are your go-to essentials for your course or practice and why?
Gesso primer is an essential base for my oil paintings. I’ve recently been using Winsor & Newton Iridescent Medium under my paintings to create a smooth, satin finish!
What materials have you enjoyed working with today and why?
I loved using the Promarker Watercolour and Watercolour Pencils – it allowed me more control in my application and the ability to add smaller details. I’m happy I got to try the Winton Mixable Oil Paint – it’s easy to use and has a buildable texture!
What is your advice for anyone starting a new course, project, or practice?
Get familiar with the resources you have available to you – especially at uni! Take time to build your unique artistic vision.
