PAPER

2-3 canvas panels or stretched canvas. 11x14, 12x16, or no larger than 16x20

PAINTS

I mostly use Gamblin paints, but any brand will do. If possible, purchase artist or professional grade oil paint. Student grade is cheaper but has less pigment and is difficult to achieve the rich colors. I buy mostly online from Jerry’s Artarama. 

1. Ultramarine Blue

2. Cerulean Blue

3. Cadmium Red Light

4. Alizarin Crimson

5. Cadmium Yellow Light

6. Cadmium Yellow Medium

7. Titanium White

8. Transparent Earth Red (optional)

9. Transparent Orange (optional)

MISC ITEMS

Odorless Mineral Spirits (Gamblin makes a good one called Gamsol) and a jar to put it in

A medium size palette knife

Good paper towels

Glass, wood, or plastic palette

Retractable razor blade for cleaning your palette, unless you are using a paper palette. I always bring butcher paper for anyone who doesn’t have something to put their paint on. 

Sketchbook, pencil and pens

BRUSHES

Good quality bristle flats and or filberts # 4, #6, #8,#10. Natural hog bristle, or synthetic.
