Stretched primed canvases, Size 14” x 18” or larger. Make sure you check that the canvas is primed for the type of paint you will use, canvas can be primed for oil paint only or for both oil and acrylic paints.
Brushes
A basic set of bristle and soft brushes for class should consist of the following shapes and sizes:
Bristle: Bright: #2-, 6, and 10 Rounds: #2, 4, and 6 (for heavier paint)
Synthetic Sable: #2 Round Brush: #3 Bright Brush:
(Rounds are generally used for details with thin paint and brights are good for blending and glazing with thin paint.)
Note: Make sure your brushes are specific to the type of paint (oil or acrylic) you will be working with. Oil paints will destroy a brush that is only for acrylic paint.
Your brush is one of the most important parts of painting. I would recommend you purchase the most expensive brushes you can afford. You can buy inexpensive paint and canvas, but a cheap brush can be a serious detriment to the quality of the painting. Section on Brushers
Paint Medium:
Oil Paint Mediums: You can buy ready-made “Oil Painting Medium” or you can make oil painting medium by mixing in a small glass jar: 1/3 linseed oil, 1/3 turpenoid, 1/3 Damar Varnish. Oil paint medium is used to thin paint and speed up the drying time.
There are many brands to choose from and you will find ones that work better then others for you.
Small dip cups or class canning jars for paint medium (with lid make transporting easy).
Paint Thinner:
Oil Paint Thinners: e, odorless or Turpenoid is best for cleaning brushes.
Gamsol odorless mineral spirits .
Acrylic Paint Mediums: Water can be used, however there are a variety of mediums to try, the bacsics are matte and gloss mediums and acrylic retarding (Slow-Drying) additives. This is useful in slowing down the drying of the acrylics providing you a longer time to blend and allowing you to paint wet over wet.
Plastic spray water bottle can be used to spray water on acrylics on the palette to keep it wet. It can also be used to create watercolor effects with acrylic paints.
Brush Cleaning Can - A coffee can or a plastic container the size of a coffee can may be used to hold water to clean acrylic paint from brushes.
Brush cleaning tank.
Palette:
Disposable paper palettes are great for mixing paint and a roll of plastic wrap can work to cover the paint to keep it workable for a day or so. They also make it convenient for clean-up and transporting wet palettes..
Paint Rags:
Paint Rags- torn white cotton rags or shop rags.
Drawing:
You will need an HB pencil, ruler or straight edge, kneaded eraser and a role of masking tape for the painting skill exercise. For painting you can draw with paint to sketch in your picture content. If you prefer drawing with pencil, graphite, charcoal or other materials please feel free to use them, however they are not necessary.
