Materials checklist.

The aim of this class is to paint small and paint often. For students, get good quality branded paints such as Winton Oils -good student quality paint, you can get them everywhere and the colours are consistent).

ESSENTIAL 6 COLOURS FOR BEGINNER PAINTERS:

Cobalt Blue
Permanent Rose
Cadmium Yellow Pale Hue
Titanium White (or Titanium buff)
Burnt Siena (or Burnt Umber)
Ivory Black (failing Ivory Black, get Indigo or Paynes Grey).

DO bring the following (BEGINNERS AND INTERMEDIATE PAINTERS):

Bring boards or canvases –don’t forget you’ll need to take them home with you after the session, so not too big. Somewhere around 6″ x 8″ or 8″ x 10″ is perfect.
A Table box-easel (Like the ones at this link). These are widely available in art shops.
A flat wood painter’s palette (rather than one of those white plastic palettes with dips -they’re more for watercolours).
Solvent: Zest-it, (if you can’t get that, get Sansodor). For cleaning brushes and diluting paint.
A jar or tin with a water-tight screw-top lid for your solvent. You could also use a ‘dipper’ or ‘double-dipper” (Like the ones at this link).
Brushes –Synthetic short flat brights: 12 and 6. Also, a Round No. 1. Try Crafty Studio, Artmines, K&M Evans or Eason) and THESE are the ones. See a video about beginner brushes here.
It’s useful to have a small palette knife for mixing and cleaning up – and sometimes painting.
Rags
If you like Liquin, bring that too. (Liquin is a quick-drying medium and glazing additive).
Wet wipes.
Wear old clothes: painting can be a messy business!
