Painting Materials

Painting Material List - my basics

Paints
– use the colours you like and have the primaries*, black and white.  I have added some other colours in case you are looking for more variety 
  • [Reds]Magenta*, Cadmium Red, Alizarin Crimson, Burnt Sienna or Indian Red, Burnt Umber
  • [Blues] Cyan*, Ultramarine, Cerulean, Phalo Blue, Prussian Blue
  • [Yellows] Primary Yellow*, Yellow Ocher or Raw Sienna,
  • [Green], Veridian, Sap Green, Golden Green, Chromium Oxide
  • [Neutrals] Raw Umber, Black and White [Zinc White is a great addition as it is more transparent and doesn't swallow the colours or make them chalky]

Mediums:
Modeling Paste - for oils or acrylic - to be used under the paint
Acrylics
  1. Thin medium - Polymer not a Glaze [e.g. Golden GAC 100]
  2. Heavy Gel for different textures  [e.g. Liquitex Heavy Body]
  3. Retarder to have on hand to slow drying.
Palette Knives: 2 or more metal painting knives – at least one large one and a medium size.
[2” slim pie shape knife and a blunt ended palette knife are suggested] 

Brushes: 3 sizes of each type [e.g. small #2 , med #4-6, large #10-12 - bright/flat/round/filbert]. 
For a large brush use a 2” thin bristle brush – comes in a plastic sleeve.
NOTE: Oil & Acrylic paint can use any type of brush as long as it is stiff enough to move the paint.  Nylon is best for beginners – paint applied is crisp and controlled.  Hair and Bristle brushes offer a softer brush stroke and aid in blending.   All brushes must be kept moist but not wet, when using acrylics.

Palette – Use any type
  1. wet palette – good for storing paint and  keeping it wet.
  2. disposable – good for palette knife and large amounts of paint - large size recommended
  3. plastic palette – good for long term painting in oil or acrylic
Painting Surface – any type you wish – min 12 x12, 12x16
  1. canvas (stretched or board)
  2. canvas board - archival quality is best long term
  3. wood or Masonite panels
  4. stone paper or watercolour paper
Misc:
  1. Spray Bottle  for ACRYLICS – Large - capable of fine mist - essential
  2. Cloth Rags for OILS & ACRYLICS -  old T’s cut in 1/2, old tea clothes or industrial towels  - essential
  3. Masking Tape - painters tape or regular - different widths
  4. String - meter long [min.] for measuring and perspective
