KAMILLE CORRY MATERIALS LIST:

CANVAS/PANELS:  4 – 6 small panels approx. 8 x 10″ or 6 x 8″.  I recommend linen over panel – these can be found through Blick art supply, or New Traditions, etc.  It doesn’t have to be linen – you can use any type of gessoed panel as well.  Or even cut pieces of primed and toned (read below) linen taped to a drawing board.

–  1 larger panel approx. 12 x 16″.   It can be a little smaller, but I wouldn’t go too much larger. 

TONE YOUR CANVASES/PANELS:   Isuggest an earth tone (mid-tone, not too dark)  any umber color is great, or a raw sienna color. Please have it DRY by the first day of class. Make sure you put some kind of medium in with your turps wash while toning it, so it won’t pull up once you start painting on it. I mix a bit of color with my medium (see below) to thin it out, and then add enough turps (or turp alternative) to make it runny – then I wipe it on with a paper towel. If I need it to dry quickly, I will use Liquin mixed in with the color to a runny consistency (no turps needed)

BRUSHES:   a variety of flats, filberts and rounds – sizes 1 – 12   bristle or synthetic  (I don’t use sables or blending brushes, but bring whatever brushes you are familiar with). Soft haired brushes are great for florals as well – i tend to use the stiffer brushes for background areas, and a little softer texture for the flowers/foliage.

OIL PAINTS:  BRAND DOES NOT MATTER, but I suggest good quality paints (not student grade)

         Almost all of my colors are from Robert Doak in NYC, or Rublev Natural Pigments, with the occasional Old Holland.  If you have colors that you love, other than what is listed below, bring them.   I love experimenting with colors, and am not opposed if you want to introduce a few more.

  •        flake white
  •        yellow ochre
  •        raw sienna deep
  •        old holland ochre (old holland)  or French sienna (Rublev natural pigments) this is a deep greenish raw sienna which I find indispensable
  • cadmium yellow light (or medium)
  •        cadmium orange
  •        vermillion or cadmium red medium
  •        burnt sienna
  •        venetian red or english red (or any cool earth red)
  •        dioxazine violet
  •        cerulean blue
  •        ultramarine blue    
  •        green earth
  •        raw umber
  •        burnt umber
  •        black
  •        Robert Doak’s  transparent sepia  (optional – but an amazing color – I use it instead of any black, and it is much more versatile)

***NOTE:   If you can find them, please bring a few strong red/rose/magenta colors.  Old Holland magenta is indispensable for a lot of strong pinks.  However, it is very expensive (you won’t need a lot of it, and the tube will probably last you for years).  But any decent brand like Windsor Newton for example, will have a few good options.  Feel free to bring any colors outside of those listed above, if you feel they might be useful in floral painting.   For example, if you have a few different green earths or umbers, they can be great for foliage.

MEDIUM:   I use a simple medium of half turps and half linseed oil    (good quality). Please have a small jar of this with you.

  • gamsol in a non-glass container
  • paper towels
  • palette
  • palette knife
  • palette cup
  • mahl stick if you use one
  • hat or visor recommended
