BRUSHES
Having brushes in a variety of sizes is preferable. Flat, filbert, and bright and my favorites, but feel free to explore. Art is about having fun.
CANVAS
Canvas or ampersand gesso panel. Oil primed linen about 9x12" or 11x14" preferably toned. Use Ivory Black and Yellow ochre to create a kind of “green” tone. Keep the tone transparent by rubbing the color on with a rag and turpentine.
OIL PAINT
For this class, you are welcome to bring along any colors you have, along with the colors listed below.
Michael Harding, Sennelier, Old Holland, Vasari, and Rublev are my Top Brands.
Rublev Lead White (any of them)
Yellow ochre
Alizarin Crimson
Vermillion
English Red
Cobalt blue
Ivory black
viridian
Emerald green
Naples Yellow (ONLY the Vasari naples). If you cannot or do not want to purchase this color that is ok. It is an “extra” color that adds a nice accent to mixtures but is not a necessity.
PALETTE
Wooden Palette – minimum 12 inches.
PALETTE KNIFE
OTHER MATERIALS
Linseed oil.
Masking tape.
Brush soap.
Turpenoid
Bring one or two images to work from. And an iPad preferable over printouts. Any animal you wish. Good lighting, clear light and shadow, not blurry, and you'll be good to go:)
Drawing on canvas can be done in advance or in class.
