Beginner to intermediate

• Brushes
  • (2) size 6 short handle liner (Princeton Heritage 4050)
  • (2) size 2 short handle liner (Princeton Heritage 4050) or Isabel 6222 size 2 are great choices, or other long liner that holds paint well.
  • *The instructor prefers sable brushes, but they are harder to find right now. The Princeton brushes are inexpensive and decent.

• Oil paints – bring the paint that you have, but if you are purchasing a color, Windsor and Newton Artists' Oils are preferred (not Winton). 
  • Venetian
  • Alizarin Crimson
  • Indigo
  • Cadmium Free Lemon Yellow
  • Titanium White 
  • Raw Sienna
  • Raw Umber
  • Mars Black
    

• Other Supplies
  • Linseed oil (this is what the instructor uses, but you can bring any medium you choose)
  • Turpentine or other preferred solvent (must remain covered)
  • Lard oil, vaseline, or other brush conditioner of your choice
  • Paper towels
  • Notebook
  • 2 backgrounded panels at least 12” x 12” º one in a Venetian red-type color and another in a different medium-value color. These can be cardboard/cereal box or thin plywood, like birch. You can use acrylic for this, or milk paint if you already own it. Please background paint and lightly sand. 
  • Palette of your choice, or palette paper
  • Soapstone pencil (if you have one)
    
  • If you would also like to paint on wood, the 10” shallow bowl made by Montzka Woodworking is a great choice. (Product number 10BB in the Museum Store.)
