Open Studio Supply list D Lindner

Acrylic 1 Supply List J Dudley

For the first class you need the following:

Paint; brushes; miscellaneous supplies and at least

1 sheet of 65 lb paper or heavier and another surface to do exercises

2. My preference is for you to buy primed canvas off the roll. Buy 2.5

feet. You may choose to do all your work on unstretched primed canvas.

Paints you need a total of 5 paint colours – red; blue; yellow; white and burnt

Umber.  You can but more paints as the class progresses to supplement these choices.

Choose one of the following sets

Traditional –  Naphthol red; Ultramarine blue; Cadmium yellow middle or medium

Titanium white; Burnt umber

OR

Modern Colours – Quinacridone Magenta; Phthalo Blue Green Shade; Hansa Yellow Lt; Titanium White and Burnt Umber

Required miscellaneous items include

Brushes – Size 4 and Size 8 bright Snap by Princeton. These brushes have a square shape.

Palette knife

Paper towels; rags

2b pencil or vine charcoal

Palette – 1 of the following – disposable palette paper or plastic lids.  Yogurt or ice

Cream lids work the best if the lid is white.

Masking tape

Airbrush Medium

Surfaces to choose from include

Unstretched primed canvas – 2′ x 5′ – can be cut with scissors and used for exercises

and completed paintings.

80 lb. paper – cheap but needs prep and only good for practice pieces.  Ripples when wet.

140 lb. watercolour paper can used without prep for exercises. Keeps shape but

expensive to frame.

Canvas Pad – needs no prep but only works for exercise.

2 stretched canvases minimum size 11″ x14″

10 sheets of bond/copy paper 81/2″ x 11 for thumb nail sketches and planning

Supply List 2025

50% of learning to paint is in the supplies you use. If you use inferior grade products expect inferior results with your painting.

PAINTS

Here is a list of the least expensive colours that make the most mixes and are my current favourites for outdoor painting:
Cadmium Yellow Light
Cadmium Yellow Deep

Yellow Ochre
Cadmium Orange
Perylene Maroon
Chroma black
Quinacridone Rose or Permanent Rose Ultramarine Blue

Manganese Blue Hue
Viridian Green
Titanium White
Try to use artist grade paints (Gamblin, M. Graham etc.) PLEASE no student grade and definitely no craft paints.

Thinner or oms (odorless mineral sprits)

BRUSHES

NO Dollar Store brushes.

****For Oil:****
Bring good quality bristle brushes. Sizes 2,4,6,8,10, Flats.
1- 3” cheap big hog bristle brush for blending. #1 or 2 Taklon liner brush
Small amount of cotton swabs, kept in a ziploc bag.
⠀ ****For Acrylic:****
Same as oil, but synthetic bristles are okay – Rosemary brand are great.
Also a 1-inch synthetic soft flat brush (Heinz Jordan or Silver brands are good) for glazing.
****For Gouache:****
3/4” flat, #6 round and #2 round
#1 or #2 liner brush.
⠀
BRUSH WASHER
****Oil:****
A good metal leak proof brush washer is a very good item to invest in. You will thank us for it. ⠀****Acrylic, Gouache and Watercolour:****
Yogurt containers with a kitchen scratchy (this is a must if you want clean brushes) in the
bottom.
⠀
MEDIUMS:
****Oil:**** Liquin or solvent free gel.
Acrylic
Retarder medium for acrylic is a must if you’re an outdoor acrylic painter. Acrylic dries very fast when it’s hot and windy.

⠀CANVAS

8- 8×10 canvas boards 4- 9×12 canvas boards.

Palette or palette paper, strip off sheets. the bigger the better.

EASEL
A good quality outdoor pochade or plein air easel will be a necessity.
