Materials List

Suggested Supplies:
Portable easel and palette
Brushes:
5-10 of various sizes
Oil bristle brushes/flats & or filberts # 2, 4, 6,
                  One or two small round acrylic brushes for detail work
                  I also use soft, low-priced watercolor mops 1/2"- 1"
wide.
Odorless Thinner and sealable unbreakable container
Oil Medium/Liquin/Optional
Paper Towels/Blue shop towels (Costco) are the best
Plastic bags for trash (grocery bags work well)
Palette knife
6-15 (more if you are a fast painter) small canvases/stretched or
panels/8x10 inches up to 12x16 Inches (our goal is to accomplish small,
simple studies, not large finished works) If you are new to painting I
recommend paintings not larger than 9x12 inches.  If you are more
experienced, bring along a larger canvas or two if you want to work on
a larger piece from a study you create.
Bring along:
Good reference photographs to use in developing landscape studies in
case we get rained out at some point.
Camera if you have one
Proper Clothing (see Proper Attire sheet)
Backpack or similar bag to carry gear
 
2
 
 
TIP:  If you can manage to get all you need into one backpack or bag,
it will greatly simplify your hassles while out painting.
 
The following colors are suggested to accomplish our painting goals. 
The colors marked with bold type are the minimum required.  Everyone
eventually develops their own preferences.   I usually use no more than
5 or 6 colors and  white.
 
SUGGESTED OIL COLORS:
Titanium White/large tube*
Ultramarine Blue*
Cerulean Blue
Viridian
Permanent Green or Sap Green*
Alizarin Crimson and/or Permanent Red Medium
Transparent Red Oxide or Transparent Burnt Sienna
Cadmium Red light/optional
Cadmium Orange
Transparent Yellow Ochre
Hansa Yellow or Cadmium Yellow Light or Aso Yellow
Lemon Yellow
     
I plan to execute at least one demonstration at the beginning of the
workshop, more if requested.  Every student will receive constructive
feedback for their work during each session, administered to the level
of the student's experience.  Again, it will not be expected that you
produce finished paintings fit for gallery display.  If that happens,
you are blessed.  Our main goal will be working at resolving problems
that always come up in the development of a painting. I look forward to
having a great time painting with you.
 
Happy painting!
