I recommend hog bristle or good quality synthetic brushes for oil painting. Bring a mixture of filberts, flats, and rounds in various sizes (4, 6, 8, 10) with one sable rigger (liner). I use Robert Simmons Signet series (hog bristles) and Rosemary & Co. Ivory series (synthetic). Don’t bring worn out brushes.
- You will use 3 to 4 panels per day. Your choice of panel sizes (6x8, 8x10, 9x12) - no larger than 9x12 for this workshop. Please bring panels rather than stretched canvas and avoid panels with too “slick” a surface.
- Optional: I tone my panels with a thin wash of Liquitex Red Oxide acrylic paint wiped on with a moist paper towel.
Graham’s Walnut Alkyd Medium - a fast drying and non-toxic product; Gamblin Neo Megilp.
ODORLESS mineral spirits (Gamsol or Turpenoid). Do not bring hardware store turpentine - it is not healthy for you or the people around you.
- disposable gloves
- wet panel carrier
- bag lunch, bottled water
