Materials List Felicia Forte Alla Prima Portrait Workshop
One 12″x16″ pad of Arches Oil Paper ( you must also have artist tape and a board to fix the paper to, I like foam core board) If you know this paper and do not like working on it, feel free to use a surface that you do like.
*One Felicia Forte Set of Rosemary and Company Brushes.

Oil Paint:
Do not buy Student Grade paint!
Basic Palette, this palette allows easy color harmony
•Titanium White
•Yellow Ochre
•Cadmium Red (NOT cadmium red hue or cadmium red light or cadmium red deep)
•Ivory Black
**Optional additions, for more experienced painters, you know who you are.
•Ultramarine Blue
•Permanent Rose or Alizarin Crimson
You do not have to buy these specific brands. I like Michael Harding, Gamblin, Rembrant, Sennelier….
Simply purchase good quality paint, or you will have to use double the amount to get the same effect.
