For this process I highly recommend getting drawing panels from Artefex. They have kindly agreed to give my students a 20% discount. Free shipping if you buy the bundle, and a free art pal membership. https://artefex.biz/product/catherine-hafer-workshop-panels/
I will be using the 2 following panels:
Artefex Chartapanel Strathmore 650 (smooth surface) 11x14
Artefex Chartapanel Arches 614 (cold press) 11x14
They are mounted watercolor paper. If you don’t want to purchase both panels, I would recommend getting the smooth panel at least, and then bring a heavy cold press watercolor paper for the second day. You will need to tape your paper down to a board of some kind. The panels will make your life so much easier!!! They are fantastic!! I recommend the bundle as you will want to work on these panels again!
