SUPPLY LIST - OIL PAINTING WITH JACK BRODERICK

Don’t run out and buy anything yet.  When it comes to materials my philosophy is to do the least economical damage.  If you have some paints and brushes bring them in to the first class and I will look at them.  If you don’t have any supplies wait until the first class and I will tell you what I think you should buy. The following page is a list of the materials I generally use. I will explain it during the first class. 

Materials List

Oils: Winsor Newton Artist Colors  34ml (studio tubes) or same size tubes of Gamblin Oil Colors (Do not buy tubes marked “hue”.)
Cadmium Red (medium)
Burnt Sienna or Terra Rosa or Alizarin Crimson (permanent)
Cadmium Lemon (cadmium yellow light)
Yellow Ochre
Cobalt Blue
Winsor Blue (thalo blue (red))
Titanium white   (to save money, buy a 120 ml tube of Winton titanium white)

Thinner :  Use only THIN X Green minerals spirits or Turpenoid or Gamsol

Brushes:  Flats (bristles, hog’s hair)… I use Robert Simmons brushes
At least one of each of the following sizes:  #2, #4, #6, #8  plus 1 Round brush,   #2 or #3

Palette Knife: Buy a palette knife that looks like a trowel with an offset handle  

Paper towels:  Bounty… they’re extra absorbent..better yet.. get select-a-size 

Palette: White plastic palette (about $3)

Canvas:  12x16 and 16x20 canvas boards and one or two stretched Fredrix canvases of the same size.

Palette cup:  a small clip on palette cup to be used for thinner when painting, a double cup is good, if you can find one.

Outdoor stuff:   bug spray, suntan lotion, hat, water… granola bars… cell phone…

Easel:  Easels are available at the Art Guild for your use.  If you are planning to buy an easel for at-home use, I will be happy to make some recommendations.
