New inspiration in the studio
Just started this 24x24 oil on canvas. A wedding bouquet was left in the Airbnb apartment, and I had to paint it! The flowers are gorgeous and I just had these pairs. Seemed like a great fit. I need to finish quickly or the will completely wilt away.

Suggested Supply List
Sample supply list
I prefer working in oils because my mixture will stay wet for the class. Acrylic will dry quickly so you will need to keep them wet with water or a retarder. Also you will not need the brush cleaner as you will use water instead. Bring reference materials to work from. Can be photos, magazines, art that inspires you, drawings, etc… Can be digital. Tablet or phone.
Please use the pigment codes for the yellow, blue and red an not the names. No mixtures, make sure only one pigment code is listed on the paint. You can use any brand as long as the pigment code is correct.
Hansa Yellow Light PY3, Cad Yellow Light PY35- pick one. Can use the Cad Light Hue
Permanent Rose PV19
Phtalo blue PB15
Titanium White
Yellow Ochre or raw Sienna
