I use Gamblin paints. They have a solvent free medium in a tube, but you may use a liquid medium if you have it. Also recommend Gamblin brand Gamsol for your solvent. If you don’t have it, use an odor free solvent. Most paint brands are just fine, but please use professional grade oil paint. The student grade is lower in pigment. All these paints are available online at Dick Blick.com, Jerrysartarama.com, Utrecht.com. I will bring plenty of paint and will share if you are missing something.
A variety of brushes. Size 2,4, 6, and 8. Flats or brights. Also you may include a very small size 0 brush for signing your paintings. Brushes can be hogs hair or synthetic but made for oil painting.
You will need a palette. You can use a paper pad that is made for oil paints. I will bring a roll of freezer paper as that is also useful as a palette. You can just tape it down on a board. Bring paper towels. Recommend Bounty or At least 8 or 10 canvas panels or stretched canvas. Size 11 x 14 or 12 x 16. Good size for in class painting. You may go up to 16x20, but don’t recommend large. I will bring some scraps of canvas for making color samples.
