MATERIALS LIST:

Oil Paints:

  • Yellow Ocher
  • Cadmium Red   (Windsor Newton)
  • Ivory Black
  • Titanium White

Brushes

  • Nice Selection of Sable and Bristles (Ex-#2 #4 #6 #7  #10  #15) I recommend Robert Simmons Signet Flat or filbert Bristle Brushes.  Round Red Sables from Trekell or whoever.

Paper Towels

  • VIVA is the best. Cloth Rags are also good

Odorless Mineral Spirits

  • Gamblin makes their own brand called Gamsol. It is the best and cleanest.  Please bring this to class.
    (Please note if you are flying, Alia Fine Art Studios will provide Gamsol, but please bring a container to hold it).

Canvas

  • Frederix Canvas Boards are okay to use (if you can afford better higher quality canvas all the better)
  • Size examples:  12×16, 16×20, 18×24

Miscellaneous

  • Container to hold Gamsol. It is the best and cleanest. Some sort of Palette to mix your paint.
  • either a pad of palette paper or a glass or wooden palette.
  • A couple of palette knifes a small and a large on 1” and 3”
  • Kneaded Eraser
  • hat or visor is recommended
  • Patience
