    COLORS on my Palette

    • Titanium White

    • Cadmium Yellow Light

    • Cadmium Orange

    • Cadmium Red Light

    • Permanent Alizarin

    • Ultramarine Blue

    • Ivory Black

    SUPPLY LIST


    • 11X14 and/or 16”x20” stretched canvas or canvas panel – student (economy) grade is fine.


    • Wood palette any shape (no paper or white plastic please) plexiglass is ok with neutral color backing. If your wooden palette is not varnished when purchased, make sure to

    • varnish it at least a few days before class, so it has time to dry.


    • Small jar of linseed or safflower oil


    • Artist Bristle brushes made for oil painting (Flat #2, #4, #8, #10)


    • for example: Robert Simmons Signet, Blick Masterstroke, Rosemary long handle flats and most interlocking flat bristle brushes will work


    • I strongly recommend to use professional grade paints as opposed to student grade paints and to avoid “hues” for best results.

    • If you prefer acrylics, you can use that (Golden or Old Holland are good brands)


    There are many good professional brands, here are a few examples:

    Gamblin, Rembrandt, Old Holland, Vassari, M. Graham, Holbein, Michael Harding, Charvin.
    37ml size paint tubes are big enough, larger ones are more economical for those who paint regularly.

    I'd either way recommend to buy the white in 150ml size.

    Recommended Colors:

    • titanium white,

    • ivory black,

    • ultramarine blue,

    • cadmium yellow light,

    • cadmium orange,

    • cadmium red light,

    • permanent alizarine

    Colors that I use less frequently

    Maganese blue

    pthalo green

    permanent rose


    • Paper towel + cotton rags (old cottonT-shirts cut up) – small pieces

    • 1 small jar or small cup for the medium+ “brush washer” container for the solvent and a larger holder for the brushes

    • 1 small bottle of artists' – GAMSOL (it's odorless, least irritating) or Odorless Turpenoid – BLUE label

    • Palette knife - offset style, medium size, medium size (1.5” - 2” ) made from metal

    • Vinyl gloves

    Gamblin and Rembrandt paints are usually somewhat cheaper than most other professional brands.
