- Landscape Painting Now II

The recommended paint for these exercises is gouache because most of the artists' works we will be looking at in class are done in oil and acrylic and gouache is the easiest medium to get similar effects. If you prefer to do in-class exercises in pastels, watercolour or acrylic, that is fine. You can use what you have. However, the instructor will be using gouache. - Suggested gouache paints: - Winsor Newton Designer Gouache: alizarin crimson, brilliant yellow, ultramarine blue, light purple, orange lake light, titanium white. - If you are on a tight budget you can purchase inexpensive sets of gouache on Amazon. - Watercolour brushes: #12 round and 3/4" flat brush (both synthetic sable) - Watercolour pad: 9 x 12", cold press, 140lb, cotton: I recommend the Arches Watercolour pad (this pad is expensive but the quality is amazing and you only need one pad for all the in-class exercises). Painting Supplies (for homework projects) : - a good selection of colours, at least 2 of each of the primary and secondary colours (a warm and cool of each), two browns, black and white in your chosen medium - medium (for acrylic or oil) - odourless mineral spirits (for oil) - brushes: a range of brushes from small to large, round and flat - palette to mix paint on - palette knives (metal for oil, plastic for water based medium) - rags Recommended Textbook: Barry Schwabsky, Landscape Painting Now: From Pop Abstraction to New Romanticism, Distributed Art Publishers, 2019. https://www.amazon.ca/Landscape-Painting-Now-Abstraction-Romanticism/dp/0500239940/ Suggested place to buy art supplies: Opus Art Supplies, 512 Herald St, Victoria BC or order online: https://opusartsupplies.com/ You can consider an Opus A+ Membership, where students can sign up to save 10% on all orders during their studies: Sign Up For Opus A+ Membership .

You don’t need to buy expensive brushes. I like having a hog bristle brush on hand because it can withstand scrubbing. You should try different types of brushes but please include at least the following: - 1 flat or filbert #10 or #12 (approx. 1-1½” wide) - 1 flat or filbert #3 or #4 - 1 round #1 or #2 You will also need: - 1 Palette knife (I recommend teardrop shaped) - 1 roll of masking tape - 1 roll of paper towels (blue shop towels are excellent) If you are using oil paint: - Palette for oils -I recommend disposable palette sheets Medium for oils – - 1 small bottle of linseed oil - 1 bottle of odourless mineral spirits (Taltine, Gamsol) or non-toxic citrus thinner You should also have - - 1-2 small empty glass jar with lid for your thinner - 1 small container for medium. (Clean tuna can is fine) Paper for oils - We will start by working on paper for quick exercises. You’ll need at least a dozen sheets so a pad is a good and economical choice. Get the larger one you can always cut it. You must either have canvas paper, paper for oils or paper that you have gessoed ahead of time. You may also want to work on canvas or board for some projects. We’ll talk about size and surface in class. If you are using acrylic paint: - Palette for acrylics – If you use acrylics regularly, I recommend you try a stay-wet palette (buy the largest) OR disposable sheets - Liquid medium for acrylics (your choice of gloss or mat) - 2 containers for water (plastic yogurt containers are great) Paper for acrylics – We will start by working on paper for quick exercises. You’ll need at least a dozen sheets so a pad is a good and economical choice. Get the larger one you can always cut it. Canvas paper or paper made for acrylics are best but any paper that can withstand wet media is fine. The Canson XL mixed media will wrinkle a bit if you use lots of water but it’s a very economical choice for studies and exercises. You may also want to work on canvas or board for some projects. We’ll talk about size and surface in class. Additional items not required for first class: You will also need a black dry-erase marker and 2-3 plastic sheet/document protectors (I’ll clarify their purpose in class) The Vancouver Island School of Art is delighted to have a partnership with Opus Art Supplies so please consider using this link and clicking on your course to purchase supplies from Opus Art Supplies: Partnership Page .
