• Supply List:

Here are the basics that we will need for the class. There are going to be some classes where we will experiment with different types of paper so everyone can purchase that on the day of the class. I would like everyone to play with drawing mediums. so create a tool box that has drawing items you may have already at home. Supplies that we will definitely need are:

Drawing:

• Drawing board 18"x 24" or larger (a piece of foam core and bull clips will also work nicely for this)
• 18"x24" pad of paper that is not white (craft paper, or manila paper)
• 1 pack of 5 vine charcoal -(also known as willow)
• 2 compressed charcoal
• 2 white charcoal
• 2b or 4b woodless pencil
• 2- sharpie or Jiffy markers black, and any other color of a med value that you think is pretty (red, brown, orange ect) chisel tip or thick tip no fine liners please
• 5 sheets of 18x24 (ish) black paper or paper that is very dark in value
• kneedable eraser

Paint:

Student grade paint will work, but if you are serious about oils, investing in artist grade paint would be better. It's more money but it's stronger, will last longer and is the true pigment which is better for color mixing and easier to work with. Brands I would recommend are: Graham, Rembrant, Windsor and Newton, Gamblin and Utrecht

Colors:

• Cadmium Yellow medium
• Cadmium Red medium
• Anthraquinone red, or quinacradone red / rose will work too
• Ultramarine blue
• Manganese blue (cerulean or pthalo blue can work)
• Burnt sienna
• Burnt umber
• Titanium white

Extras:

• Cad orange
• Manganese violet

Mediums and turps:

No hardware store turps please!
They are very toxic and tend to give people bad headaches (namely me!), even if they say no odor.

• Eco house turpentine
• small bottle of Liquin

Brushes:

Please use hogs hair bristle brushes. Heinz Jordan Blue handle are my favorite

• Flat brushes
• Size #2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
• Small white taklon round #3, flat 1/8"

Painting supports:

• Pad of canvas paper 18"x24" or 16"x20"for studies ***(primed canvas that has been bought off the roll and then ripped into 18x24 (ish) sizes is great as well. Please have 4-6 pieces and bring a board and bull clips as a support for your canvas. Or you can use 4, 18" x 24" or 16"x20"Canvas boards) feel free to purchase stretched canvases if you don't like working with boards or on scrap canvases
• We will be purchasing canvases for your longer pose paintings the day of. Size depends on your design and composition

Please also bring:

• Sketch book for notes
• 12x16 paper palette
• Turp pot (a glass jam jar will work)
• Blue shop towel
• Can of workable fixative
• Grey view finder - you can also get a piece of thick card and cut it into 2 ‘L' shapes for this exercise. The view finder is easier to use but this will work if you can't find one
