to class. Below are two lists: on the left are listed necessary items. On the right are some
additional items that the instructor uses and you might find helpful. Always buy artist quality
paints and paper. In the long run they are cheaper and the only way to learn.
Arches 130 pound cold
pressed paper (22 x 30)
The instructor recommends using
one full sheet cut in half. This will
suffice for a two day workshop
require stretching but is more
expensive.
plywood cut to 23' x 16" or 1/4
inch masonite cut to the same
dimensions. This will support the
paper you paint on.
#4 and #8 round brushes. A 1" flat
brush (2nd from right) and a 1.5 " or
a 2" WC brush as on the extreme
right. Synthetics are fine. An old
tooth brush come in handy
one stroke brushes. And a #10 or
#`12 round are good to have.
many large wells for holding paint and also several mixing
areas. It should also have a lid so you can move it easily.
Zolten Zsabo has a reasonable palette that can be used in the
studio and as well fits in a French Easel for on location
painting. It is 8" x 12" and is pictured to the right. There are 17
paint wells and 7 mixing wells. I start with my warm yellows in
the upper left, and moving in a clockwise direction add
cadmium orange, cadmium red, alizarin, then warm greys, Raw
Sienna, Burnt Sienna. Below the upper right corner I have
purple, then moving from the right to the left the blues: Thalo,
Ultramarine, Cobalt and Cerulean. Next I place Sap Green and
to the left some Quinacridone colours. Do not buy student
grades: Winsor Newton, Daniel Smith, DaVinci artist rated are
excellent brands.
personal friend of mine and a very good artist/instructor. His web
page containts many demonstrations and lots of information on
techniques and supplies. Look at www.grantfuller.ca
