SUPPLY LIST BY CLASS
There are some areas of shopping were finding the cheapest and best deals are very rewarding.
Cosmetic surgury and art supplies are not among them. Painting is difficult enough to master and
the last thing you want to do is to struggle with inferior brushes and paint.

Brushes:
During the first class for the Mandala project you will not need many if any brushes
#1, #2, Fan Brush - white bristle
#3 through #20- Brights- medium soft -Isabey "memory" or Raphael or soft bristles but Brights not flats or filberts
1/2 inch soft blending brush
1 1/2" to 2" inexpensive large paint brush

I will recommend brands that have the nicest color. Please though, do not
buy cheap paint, I also do not recommend Windsor Newton-because the color of their paint varies
greatly from other brands -for instance- Naples Yellow is a huge difference

Mandala Project- FOUNDATIONS IN CLASSICAL PAINTING Thursday am and Wednesday PM :
- one 24" x 24" Canvas
(The more expensive canvases, like the 1.5" box frame, have a nicer surface to paint on)
-Pencil, Gum eraser, spray fix or cheap hair spray- hairspray is actually best
-Thin Cotton rags --- t-shirt or pillow cases work well
-Walnut Oil or cold pressed Linseed Oil
-Palette- Light wood palette if you are working with a model
or disposable palette pad
Roll of Tape,
Roll of Paper Towels

PAINT:
Raw Umber- brownish (oil paint) by Norma or Old Holland brands have a beautiful
golden shade. Other brands of raw umber tend to be much cooler

Titanium White -Williamsburg, Sennelier are great or if you are on a budget - Rembrandt, original formula - Large Tube

need:
Alizarin Crimson
Quinacridone Red

Yellow Ochre - Le Franc or Gamblin is okay -If you use another brand, make sure it is not too dark

Portrait Class Paints- Wed 2pm to 5pm

If you are taking a Portrait Painting class then I assume you are serious about your results. This is where good quality paint is essential. I can't tell you how many times I have been helping a student with their painting, I grab their palette and begin to mix a color and for instance their Vermillion makes very little affect on the color! I try again and add more, nothing, finally I look at the brand of paint they are using and "bingo" cheap paint! Cheaper brands of paint use less pigment. So you end up frustrated and using more paint. If you have the time, then the best choice is to mix your own colors if not the following 2 brands I highly reccomend: Michael Harding and Robert Doak especially Doak's incredible colors (except his Naples Yellow-its too dark) and Michael Harding's
Cremnitz White is a very good lead white but tends to be oily.
Sennielier and Old Holland are also good choices as well as Mussini. Bottom line is buy some good quality paint.
