Oil Painting Supplies:
Canvas:Commercially primed and stretched canvas (linen or cotton) no larger than 16” X 20” to start.Primed illustration board (primed with white acrylic primer or gesso and cut to size (16” X 20”).
Brushes: White hog bristle brushes (filberts, flats, & rounds) are most versatile. I recommend medium or medium-large brushes for fast application of paint. Red sable brushes (rounds & flats) for soft and precise brushwork. I recommend #2, #4, and #8 rounds (real red sable), and 1/2” to 1” flats (synthetic bristles are fine for the flats).
Oil Paints (student quality Winton) or better:As a starting palette: yellow ochre, venetian red, burnt sienna, burnt umber, ultramarine blue, titanium whiteAdvanced Palette: Cadmium lemon, cadmium yellow medium, cadmium red, alizarin crimson, French ultramarine, cerulean blue, titanium white, yellow ochre, Indian red, burnt sienna, burnt umber, and any other oil colors you’d like to add.
Palette Knives (spatula type): One or two medium sized knives; these knives have raised handles & flexible blades and are used to apply and remove oil paint from painting surface.
Palette: Choose a sealed wooden palette, plastic palette, or a disposable paper palette.
Palette Cup(s): A handy dual cup item clips onto a palette and holds a small amount of medium and solvent. Mediums: To make application and manipulation of paint easier, a medium is added to artist’s tube colors. To make your own: mix equal amounts of linseed stand oil, and Turpenoid or Gamsol. You may instead choose to purchase a good linseed oil-based medium. To speed drying time, you may want to buy Winsor/Newton’s Liquin, or another alkyd based medium.
