Materials list:

Canvas / Panels

3-4 panels, no larger than 12"x16". I typically do 9"x12" or 11"x14".  Options below:

  • Centurion panels that are very cost effective. (Link to Jerrysartama.com for Centurion panels)
     
  • Mona Lisa speedball gessoed panels  - Available on Amazon and very cost effective. These panels are very slick so if you aren't used to painting on super slick surfaces that don't have a slight tooth, be ready to experiment.
     
  • C13 Double Oil primed linen panels from New traditions art panels. (Link)
     
  • Any other oil primed linen or DIY gessoed panels are welcome too. You don't need to go spend more if you already have portrait grade options at home.

 

Paints (suggested list)

Rembrandt / Windsor Newton/ MGrahams / Micheal Harding paints. If you have similar colors in other brands go ahead and bring them. Below is only a suggested list. 

  • Titanium White (Le Franc)
  • Creminitz White (lead based made by Michael Harding) optional. It helps in achieving a subtle transition of lightening a color it mixes with as opposed to titanium White that lightens a color with a severe jump in value. But using lead white is totally optional.
  • Permanent Lemon yellow ( Rembrandt)
  • Cadmium yellow
  • Yellow Ochre 
  • Cadmium Orange ( Rembrandt) 
  • Permanent Red Medium ( Rembrandt) 
  • Brilliant Pink ( Michael Harding) 
  • Alizarin Crimson
  • Transparent Oxide Red (Rembrandt)
  • Ultramarine Blue
  • Cobalt Blue 
  • Viridian Green ( Rembrandt)
  • Kings Blue deep (Micheal Harding/ Rembrandt)
  • Ivory Black

 

Brushes:

  • Rosemary brushes  Master Choice 279  Sizes 2-6 ( or any other firm natural hair brush will do too) as long as they are not too soft.
     
  • Rosemary Brushes, series 273 Rigger size 2 for details. This is a long haired pointed script brush -great for tiny details.
     
  • Robert Simmons signet long filberts - in a small, medium and large sizes. I use mostly the medium size in the initial stages of blocking in the masses. 
     
  • Robert Simmons Egbert brush size 6/8- also used for blocking in or laying the initial wash.
