- Painting: Abstraction in Canada
6167802d-165f-4969-bab5-7124e96078e8 Vancouver Island School of Art 302-733 Johnson St, Victoria, BC V8W 3C7 250-380-3500 info@vancouverislandschoolart.com Supply List - Painting: Abstraction in Canada Note: For in-class painting exercises gouache paint is preferred because most of the artwork we will be looking at is done in acrylic or oil and gouache will yield the closest results to those mediums. In-class demos will use gouache. If you prefer not to buy gouache paint for homework exercises you can use watercolour or acrylics. Also I recommend high-quality watercolour paper for in-class exercises if you want good results. In-class exercises: - Gouache paint set such as Winsor Newton Gouache Intro to Art Set or any set that contains red, yellow, blue, green, orange and violet - H pencil, eraser and sharpener - #10 and #4 round brushes, 3/4" flat brush - Arches Watercolour Pad, 9 x 12”, cold press, 100% cotton (or other good quality watercolour paper) You can buy sheets of watercolour paper and tear them into 1/4s. Homework projects, suggested materials: - paints (oil, acrylics, watercolour or gouache) in a range of colours -including warm and cool yellow, warm and cool red, warm and cool blue, at least 2 greens, one orange, one violet and large tube of white (for oil or acrylic) - matte medium (acrylic), odourless mineral spirits and walnut or linseed oil for oils - variety of brushes (small, large, round, flat) - surfaces to paint on (canvas, panel or paper, depending on paint choice) -you will need at least 11 surfaces for the course if you plan to do all the homeowrk assignments. The minimum size for homework projects is 11 x 14" but feel free to work larger.
