Fundamental Drawing & Painting Classes
with Lisa Duncan in
Marietta, GA

Materials:
Please don't feel you must have everything. This is just a suggested list. Any art supply store should have what you need.

• Grey canvas pad 9x12 (If you can't find grey, white is fine.)
• Two canvas boards 9x12 (they will be white stretched over some kind of cardboard/chipboard backing)
• Grey pallet paper (or a wooden or glass pallet as you prefer. Paper pallets are a good cheap start.)
• Pallet knife for mixing paints (preferably metal, and mid-length. Not super short.)
• Oil paints of mid-range quality (not off-brand super cheap, but Utrech/Blick/Grumbacher are fine)
  • Titanium White
  • Ivory Black
  • Cadmium Yellow
  • Cadmium Red
  • Ultramarine Blue
  • Other useful colors (not needed for class, but good for your kit) - Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Sap Green, Hansa Yellow, Cobalt Blue, Alizarin Crimson
• Any odorless turpentine/paint solvent (Gamsol/Turpenoid/Nood)
  • A container for dirty turpentine to clean your brushes (Like the glass, black top, silver coil one you'll see everywhere)
  • A smaller, closeable container for clean turpentine to paint with (a small mason jar will do)
• Any thin oil medium (Linseed Oil/Galkyd/Walnut/Stand Oil), just get the thin, not the thick (you can tell by turning the bottle - thick won't flow fast)
  • A smaller, closeable container for medium to paint with (a small mason jar will do)
  • You may want the small, clip-on metal dual-bowl. One holds turpentine, one holds medium (but I find the covered ones unreliable for transportation)
• Oil paint brushes (you can usually find a kit with several)
  • At least three brights, something like 4,6 & 8
  • At least one small round (for tiny details)
  • At least one chisel (or angle) brush (about size 6)
• Paint brush cleaner (any will do. I use Masters)
• Paper Towels (I use Viva)
