It can be flowering or not, but it should be one that you like the look of. We will also be looking at images of flowers and plants but you should have at least one “live model” available to you. Try to choose something that has some negative space. Please have it for the first class. *Paint colours - You can use the colours you usually use but please make sure to include at least the following 8 colours: (less expensive “Hue” versions are fine but– pay attention to whether they are light or deep) Titanium white Magenta or Alizarin crimson Ultramarine blue Cadmium orange Cerulean or Turquoise blue Burnt umber Cadmium yellow light Naples yellow *Brushes - Most types of brushes for oil or acrylic are fine. 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 Pair of scissors 1 Glue stick *1 Palette knife (I recommend teardrop shaped) *1 roll of masking tape *1 roll of paper towels (blue shop towels are excellent) * 1 board or surface that you can tape your paper to for painting. A selection of coloured construction paper (Dollarama) A small pad of tracing paper A black dry-erase marker 2-3 plastic sheet/document protectors (I’ll clarify their purpose in class) 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.
