• Brushes

    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.

• Panels

- 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.

• Medium (optional)

   Graham’s Walnut Alkyd Medium - a fast drying and non-toxic product; Gamblin Neo Megilp.

• 3 to 5 OF YOUR OWN PHOTO REFERENCES YOU WOULD LIKE TO PAINT FROM (4x6 or 5x7 sizes suggested)

• Solvent

     ODORLESS mineral spirits (Gamsol or Turpenoid).  Do not bring hardware store turpentine - it is not healthy for you or the people around you.

• Paper towels and plastic grocery bags for used paper towels

• Painting clothes (please wear clothing you don’t mind getting a little oil paint on)

• Optional:

- disposable gloves

- wet panel carrier

- bag lunch, bottled water
