The focus of this class is to train the student in the basic skills needed to paint in oils with particular attention to the use of color, light, shadow, composition, brush handling, and materials. Students work from photographs or a still life that will be set up for reference. Demonstrations will be given.

  • OIL PAINT COLORS
  • White (I recommend ‘Permalba’ brand)*
  • Viridian
  • Burnt Sienna
  • Yellow Ochre
  • Sap Green
  • Alizarin Crimson
  • Cerulean Blue
  • Cadmium Yellow
  • Ultramarine Blue
  • Cadmium Red
  • *Permalba brand of white may be hard to find, so just buy a white from the brands listed below.
  • There are many brands to choose from. I recommend Windsor and Newton or Grumbacher. (Windsor and Newton has two quality grades, Professional Artist and student grade. The student grade is called Winton.) I recommend the Artist grade. The quality is better, however, the price is a bit more.
  • Acrylic Paint – one tube of Yellow Ochre
  • Palette (used for mixing paint)
  • I will go over different types of palettes in class. If you would like, you can wait until the first class to see which one you would want (use a paper palette pad in the meantime.) Otherwise, a large wooden palette or a piece of clear glass makes a great palette.
  • Palette box - Used to place your wet palette in after class and in between painting sessions. (Available at Michaels. It is a Tupperware –like box with a blue top and white bottom.)
  • Turpenoid (small container)
  • Liquin by Windsor and Newton (You can find this in the “medium” section.)
  • A variety of brushes (I suggest synthetic brushes for a beginner) Usually they have a packet of them with a variety of sizes in the brush section.
  • Palette knife – Metal is preferred over plastic
  • Surface to paint on - I will show many different surfaces to paint on in class, however, to start out with I recommend using a canvas board or a stretched canvas. Size is up to you. I recommend 11" x 14" to 16" x 20".
  • Sketchbook and sketching supplies (pencils, charcoal, erasers, etc.)
  • Small container to hold painting medium. (Art stores sell small metal cups that attach to your palette. Mason jars work great as well.) Please bring two (one for the Liquin and the other for the Turpenoid).
  • “The Masters”- Brush Cleaner & Preserver – a little tub of brush cleaner in beige colored container.
