If you already have paints, bring what you have but this is what you need for class.
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.
Here is a list of suggested colors. But bring what you have. I like to have Cadmuim Yellow and a warn red and blue and a cool red and blue. Sap Green, Naples Yellow. and Burnt Sienna are just great to mix with, but you don't have to have them.
- Alizarin Crimson
- Cadmium yellow, or hue
- Ultramarine blue or phtalo blue
- Sap green
- Titanium white 5OZ Tube
- Yellow Ochre or Yellow Oxide or Naples Yellow. Any will be fine
- Optional colors
- Burnt sienna
- Cobalt Blue
- Naphthol Red/ Cadmuim Red or hue / an orange- Optional
- 12x12, 12 x 16 Canvas or larger
- Acrylic and oil disposable Palette Pad 9 x12 . You can use a roll wax paper
- Palette knives plastic or metal - The plastic 5 pack is great to start with
- If just buying one get Utrecht 1003
