Materials List
Oil paint:
Do NOT get any “hues” when buying cadmium colors. Hues have a lower color saturation. You will end up using more paint and not saving any money.
- Titanium white
- Nickel Titanate Yellow
- Cadmium Yellow Medium
- Cadmium Orange Medium
- Cadmium Red Medium
- Alizarin Red or Alizarin Permanent
- Sap Green

Brushes:
I use Blick brand brushes and they work fine. But Trekkel and Rosemary Brush Co. are both high quality brush companies. I usually try to have 2 of each brush but you can get by with one. This is an optional selection. If you have different brushes that you prefer please bring those.

Canvas or Panel:
16 x 20 canvas or wood panel. Even if it comes already primed with gesso, you should put on 3 more layers before the start of the workshop. I apply gesso with a paint roller and do a light sanding between layers. Having a good surface from the start is essential. You will also need 1 additional 11×14 panels or canvases to work on. These should also be primed with gesso.
- Palette: Glass palette with a paint saver blue and white box works great for easy travel. Please have a clean surface to work on. It needs to be free of dried paint and debri.
- Solvent: Odorless mineral spirits (I prefer Gamsol) and a metal tin with a lid for cleaning brushes. NO PAINT THINNER!
- Medium: Linseed oil in a small container with a lid
- Palette Knife
- Paper Towels (I like blue shop towels)
- View finder (optional but useful)
- Q-tips
