Student Supplies:
Oil Paint or Acrylic colors:
• Instructor recommends water-soluble oils that clean with water. Windsor & Newton, Holbein water-mixable oils , or LUKAS Berlin , are acceptable brands for class. If you prefer regular oils, please only use linseed oil for blending. Hazardous chemicals are not allowed. For cleaning brushes Murphy’s Oil Soap, Masters Brush Cleaner or Dawn detergent, work fine.
• Just about any acrylic brand is fine. Acrylic is inexpensive. Purchase your acrylics in the tube kind rather than other formulations. FYI: Golden Open acrylics stay blendable longer and don’t dry as fast.
• Colors Needed for Class: Cadmium red (medium), Cadmium orange, Alizarin crimson, Cadmium yellow, Cobalt blue, Sap green, Titanium white (large tube), Payne's Grey, Black (if desired).
• Gesso for thinning acrylic or another thinning medium. Extender for lengthening drying time of acrylic
Brushes:
• Synthetic multi-purpose for oil or acrylic. Instructor recommends Silver Ruby Satin brushes and prefers filberts over flat. Personal preferences vary. Sizes: Filberts 4, 8, 10, 20 and larger if you like, or same sizes in Rounds if you prefer that style brush.
• Blenders brushes (soft). Watercolor brushes and even makeup brushes.
Other Supplies:
• Palette Knife (medium size)
• Disposable Paper Palette or a butcher tray
• Canvas Boards or stretched canvas
• Rags / Paper Towels
• Some kind of a spray bottle for water
