All “Tools and Accessories” listed below

Cadmium Yellow
Phthalo Blue and Green
Purple Lake

Buy the above OIL PAINTS in Utrecht, Gamblin, Winsor & Newton (NOT Winton), Williamsburg, or Old Holland brands. Avoid pigments with the word “hue” following the name—they are cheaper because they contain very little of the actual pigment you want. You may need to buy additional tubes of the above paint as we go through the course.

Tools and Accessories:

Medium-size palette knife (curved/bent handle, not straight: 2" – 3")
Oil brushes—get an assortment, some medium/small, rounds/filberts: 1/4" – 1" (at least 4, inexpensive, synthetic is fine – make sure they are oil brushes – some heaver bristle brushes, some smoother rounds)
Palette (glass is best, and the larger the better for mixing, at least 16" x 20" recommended, if the glass is thin it can be backed by board and taped around the edges) (Perkins glass on Broadway is good for this, ¼", sanded edges)
Razor blade scraper (window scraper) to clean palette
Oderless turps (Gamsol or Turpenoid)
Linseed oil (small bottle)
Small plastic squeeze bottle with pointed tip, and small funnel for filing. (If able fill squeeze bottle 50/50- gamsol/linseed oil
Rags

Optional, but very nice to have:

Disposable latex or vinyl gloves
Plastic palette box with lid, for preservation of paint (Doesn’t need to be large. You mix on your palette – this can just be used to store extra, unused paint for the next class)

Surfaces:

Canvas paper pad (16 x 20" or 18 x 24"), the thicker the better
White Gesso

You work on two paintings in this 5-week course - a 2-day and a 3-day study. Both can be on canvas paper, but you are welcome to work on stretched canvas if you would like. I encourage you to add at least 2 additional layers of gesso to the canvas paper to ensure a good working surface.
