Oil Paints:

We'll need one warm and one cool version of each primary color, plus Titanium White, as a base palette. (If you have your preferred color palette, please bring what you're comfortable with to the first class.)

Base Colors:

Titanium White

Raw Umber

Hansa Yellow or Cadmium Yellow Deep (warm yellow)

Cadmium Lemon or any kind of Lemon Yellow (cool yellow)

Cadmium Red Medium or Napthol Red (warm red)

Alizarin Crimson or Alizarin Crimson Permanent (cool red)

Cerulean Blue Hue (warm blue)

Ultramarine Blue (cool blue)

Utility Knife or X-Acto knife (for sharpening pencils)

Note: If possible, buy artist grade paint. It is more economical in the long run, given the higher ratio of pigment to filler. Utrecht, Gamblin, M. Graham, and Winsor & Newton are high-quality mid-priced that I recommend (look for their "Artist" or "Professional" lines. If cost is an issue and you prefer to start with student-grade paint, Gamblin "1980" series is among the best quality student-priced options.

Brushes:

Any brand works well enough for the class. Bring a variety of long-handled filberts or flats, sizes 12, 8, 6, and 4 (two of each size is enough).

Surfaces:

Canvas panels or hardboard panels, medium size (11" x 14", 12" x 16", or 14" x 18"). Please bring two per class.

A cheaper alternative is buying a Canvas Pad that you then tape to a hard board or a drawing board.

Misc:

Paper Towels

Odorless Solvent (GAMSOL only!) in lidded container

Palette (wood, glass, or plexi-glass) - make sure your palette is at least 9 x 12 or larger in size.

Palette Knife (for cleaning palette)

Easels are provided by the school, but feel free to bring your own portable setup if you prefer.
