Oil Portraits with PJ:
(Solvent) Gamblin Gamsol or Eco Solve are the least toxic options
Paint colors ( gamblin paints are the healthiest)
Titanium white
Permanent rose
Cadmium yellow light
Ultramarine blue
Phthalo blue
Burnt sienna
Yellow ochre
Several small canvases or canvas panels
Brushes- I recommend a variety of sizes ranging from small detail brushes to larger 1 inch flat brushes. A brush pack with a size arrangement is perfectly fine. I like to have a few bristle brushes as well as a few nylon brushes.
Make sure you have a pallet knife and a jar with a tight closing lid for the solvent.
You will need an oil paint medium such as Linseed oil, walnut oil or liquin original by winton Newton which is my favorite
Since oil paint does not dry quickly and can be reused I recommend getting a pallet that can be closed such as the stay wet palette or even a pizza box or some sort of flat box that you can put your pallet in and carry it with you from week to week. Styrofoam plates are a good option as well. They can be put in a Ziploc bag and preserved for the next week.
That just about covers it, I look forward to seeing you at the next class!
