In this fun and informative painting course we’ll learn lessons about a particular master artist and implement their techniques through master copies ranging from portraiture, figure, and landscape. With the aim to apply what we’ve learned to our own works.

  • 1 or 2 Canvas Panels or Stretched Canvas per class, depending on how fast you work (And if you’d like to do the master copy and then use what you’ve learned on your own piece through out that week). Choose size(s) you are comfortable with - 9x12, 11 x 14, 12 x16, 16x20, etc.
  • Paint:
  • Titanium white
  • Lemon yellow
  • Cad yellow
  • Yellow ochre
  • Cad red med., or Scarlet, or Napthol
  • Alizarin Crimson, and/or quinacridone magenta
  • Burnt Sienna
  • Phthalo blue
  • Ultramarine blue
  • Burnt umber
  • Ivory black
  • Optional paint colors:
  • Cobalt blue*
  • A Green*
  • Odorless mineral spirits (for oil)
  • Solvent container (silicoil works great)
  • Liquin (for oil)
  • Liquitex slow-dry medium (acrylic)
  • Rolls of paper towels and/ or rags
  • Containers for medium
  • Container for water (acrylic)
  • Variety of Brushes (If you come with 6 brushes, 2 small, 2 medium and two med/Large, that can be enough)
  • My recommendation would be to make sure you have a variety of sizes represented, at least one in a 1/4”, 1/2”, 1” in Bright; 1/4 - 1/2” Filbert (I like #4) and a small Round, 1- 4 (also get a larger one if you like rounds). This will get you started. I’ll mention more about possible bushes you might like to get in class.
  • palette knife(s)
  • Some kind of palette: palette paper, or glass with scraper
  • (Masterson’s Stay Wet Palette works great for transporting all types of paint. If you work with acrylic, please make sure to also get the palette inserts and sponge, but you can also bring a spray bottle to mist your paints to keep them wet and just use regular palette paper.)
