Introduction to Painting
Intermediate Painting
Instructor: Janet Boltax

 

- Oil paints in the following colors: Permalba White (4-oz tube); and 1.25 oz tubes of burnt sienna, raw sienna, cadmium red light, cadmium orange, cadmium yellow light, cerulean blue, ultramarine blue, viridian, and alizarin crimson. I use Winsor Newton, but Winton (student grade) is okay for beginners. Acrylic painters can use Liquitex or Golden paints (or Winsor Newton Galeria for less expensive student grade).
 
- Large wooden or thick plexiglass palette, 18 x 20” or larger. You can have plexiglass cut to size at art stores, frame stores, possibly hardware stores.
 
- Painting mediums: Res-n-gel painting medium for oils, Liquitex matte medium for acrylics.
 
- Can of Turpenoid (odorless mineral spirits) for oils, water for acrylics.
 
- Palette knife for scraping paint from palette or canvas.
 
- About six oil painting brushes in a variety of sizes, ranging from a small brush for details to a brush that is about 1 1/4”. (I prefer filberts, which are flat brushes rounded at the tip, but you can bring others if you prefer.) VERY IMPORTANT – Use new brushes or brushes in very good condition. Worn brushes will hinder your work.
 
- Small, metal cup for holding Turpenoid or water.
 
- Roll of paper towels or cotton rags.
 
- Bar of soap such as Ivory for clean-up.
 
- Canvas or canvas board, any size between 16 x 20” and 20 x 24”. You will need additional canvasses later on, so you may wish to buy 2 or 3 at the start.
 
-Small sketchbook and pencil
 
- Flat, airtight Tupperware container for storing unused paints from your palette from week to week.

Landscape Oil Painting 
Portraiture
Instructor: Gary Godbee

Canvas - Portraiture only: 14"x18", 16”x20”, 18"x24" or similar. Landscape and Still-life: 18"x24" or larger. You may use prepared (store-bought) stretched canvases or gessoed panels.
No canvas boards, please.

Palette - Coated-paper block type (disposable), or wooden. 12"x16".

Palette cups - One or two small metal or plastic cups.

Brushes - Bristles - FLATS #1, 3, 5, 8, and 12. (Robert Simmons “Signet”)
Sables - ROUNDS - #1 and 3 - (for details). (Simmons “Sienna”, Windsor&Newton “Cirrus)

note* Good brushes are expensive, but they are your most primary tool and extensions of your hands. Poor quality brushes will make you struggle unnecessarily.

Oil Colors - 37ml tubes - Gamblin, Windsor&Newton, Rowney, Utrecht, Grumbacher
(Avoid student grades. Example: ‘Winton’ is Windsor&Newton’s student grade.)

Cadmium Yellow Medium
Yellow Ochre
Raw Sienna
Burnt Sienna
Burnt Umber
Cadmium Red Light
Venetian Red (English Red is the same)
Alizarin Crimson
Dioxazine Purple (Windsor Violet)
Ultramarine Blue
Cerulean Blue Hue (cheaper but more intense than pure Cerulean Blue)
Cadmium Green
Olive Green
Sap Green
Viridian or Thalo Green
Ivory Black
Titanium White - large tube

Solvent - TURPENOID - in the BLUE and white can. (Do not buy Turpenoid Natural in the green can.) (Neither turpentine nor mineral spirits are acceptable for health reasons.)

Brushwasher – You must have one of the following: metal-type with lid, glass jar with coil (Pearl Paint), or a mayonnaise-size jar w/lid - large enough to hold 3 or 4 large brushes. This is to clean your brushes as you work. Palette cups are not appropriate for this.

Medium - Small jar cold-pressed or refined linseed oil.

Pencils - A couple of 2B pencils are fine.

Paper Towels - I prefer paper towels to rags as they are easier to dispose of and are helpful for adding an initial tone to your canvas.

Student grade paints are much more affordable than artist grade paints, however the difference in quality is very noticeable. There are lower-end artist grade paints that are better-priced and good quality including Gamblin, Grumbacher, and Rembrandt, to name a few.  

Brushes:
Brushes are the main tool of a painter; there are so many different kinds and brands that it really comes down to personal preference. For the purposes of this class, the following will suffice:
Filbert bristles: numbers 3 – 8
Flats: 7 – 12
Rounds: 1 – 4 
It is not necessary to purchase every number brush, but at least two or three of each kind. Ideally, flats should be larger, as they are used to block in the initial stages of a painting. Filberts need to be medium-sized since most of the actual work will be done with them. Rounds are for the absolute final touches and high lights, as well as fine detailing, so they can be smaller.

Realist Painting
Instructor: Robert Kogge

A photographic image to work from – landscape, still life, or figure – but please not of someone else’s original art work.

I would recommend your choice of image dimensions not to exceed 20 inches in either direction as this is a labor intensive process.

Pencils - 2B or lighter
Ruler- at least 18 inches
Cotton Duck Canvas (unprimed and not stretched), # 8 or 10 – buy the smallest amount you can, 1 yard x 60ins. is usually the minimum.
Wooden drawing board or a piece of plywood large enough to accommodate the dimensions of the work plus a 2 ½ - 3 inch border on all four sides for stretching upon completion, and as a test strip for color samples of both pencil and wash.
Heavy duty staple gun and ¼ inch heavy duty staples (I will provide)
A small bottle of Liquitex Matt Medium
A small amount (an ounce or so) of dry mix ceramic clay to be mixed with the matt medium and ink will provide a little more tooth to the canvas in accepting the colored pencil (I will provide)
1oz. bottles of ink, red, yellow, blue, brown, black and small mixing cups
A set of Prisma color colored pencils (mid size will do)
Kneaded eraser and masking tape
Boar bristle brushes: one 2 inch cutter, one (of each) #’s 3, 5, filbert (rounded edges) and one or two small sable water color brushes. Please keep these brushes separate from your oil paint brushes.
