Painting Metal and Glass - Materials:
● Palette - New Wave 11x16” white pad disposable palette, or similar
● Palette knife – not a teeny one. You want to be able to scoop up a pile of
paint with it. I like the RGM softgrip no. 45 (blue handle)
● Rags or paper towels (blue shop towels are the best!)
● Solvent: Gamsol
● Medium: walnut oil or Gamblin Solvent-Free Gel
● Glass or plastic jar, or other container for solvent
● Paint - I use M. Graham brand. Here is my split-primary palette. Substitutions are ok!
○ Titanium white
○ Alizarin Crimson,
○ Cadmium red (medium or light)
○ Ultramarine Blue
○ Pthalo blue or Viridian
○ Cadmium yellow (medium)
○ Hansa yellow
○ Ivory black
Optional colors: yellow ochre, dioxazine purple
Viewfinder - I like the ViewCatcher by The Color Wheel brand.
● Brushes - I use Princeton Aspen white Taklon brushes in flat sizes 6 and 8. I also use a #2 round for “drawing.” Please feel free to use whatever you’re comfortable with. A good starter kit is a #2 round and a #6 flat.
● Canvases or other painting surfaces:
A pad of canvas paper: Yes canvas sheets, Stonehenge oil paper, or
Arches oil paper are my favorites.
Both a square canvas and a rectangular canvas or panel - any size
you’d like to work on for about 3 hours. You’ll need at least 2 squares and two rectangles. 8x8, 10x10, 8x10, 9x12 or larger. I use Raymar - their Arches oil paper panels, and their 23SC canvas panels.
Bringing a couple of extra canvases can be helpful.
Easel and side table A standing travel easel. (A french easel or plein air easel) *Some studios have easels for student use, but bring your own if you prefer. Pencil, sketchbook, black sharpie, masking tape
