Recommendations and Tips
-Oil Paints:
We highly recommend using professional quality oil paints for better texture, pigment, and greater ease of use. The following can create a wide range of colors when mixed. These paints can be found either through your local art store or online retailers such as Blick and Jerrys Artarama:
· Titanium White
· Quinacridone Red
· Cadmium Red
· Cadmium Yellow Pale
· Yellow Ochre Pale
· Viridian
· Ultramarine Blue
· Transparent Oxide Brown
-Gamsol:
Generally, the lowest priced options for this paint solvent can be found through your local Hobby Lobby
-Canvas:
Canvases can be found at your local art store. Plan for one canvas between the sizes of 8”x10” to 11”x14” to be used per class.
-Easel and Palette:
If possible, find one that allows for quick setup and is easy to carry.
-Brushes:
A palette knife is also a helpful tool for texture and mixing.
