Materials

Paints

For paints we will need my classic set of colors.

I work with the French paint PEBEO. You can take paint from other makers, but the shades may differ.

Below is the list of colors and their PEBEO numbers

  • titanium white25
  • lemon yellow01
  • cadmium yellow02
  • cadmium red 05/06/07 ( choose one or all)
  • light ochre20
  • raw sienna21
  • pink37
  • madder50
  • turquoise38
  • cobalt12
  • ultramarine14
  • steel blue47
  • black24

The only color from the Ladoga / Master Class range - Leningrad raw umber.

As you can see, I do not have a green.

Solvent

I paint with pure odorless white spirit. If you are used to painting with oil or a three-part medium, that is up to you, but I recommend taking a look at my way of building a painting.

Brushes

I use synthetic filberts. From the smallest to medium sizes. A flat wash brush is optional. I will not be relying on them. Bristle brushes will not be my main brush either.

While the course is being made, other tools may appear; I will talk about them in the lesson, but they will not be essential.

Palette knife

I always recommend having 2-4 palette knives of different shapes.

Canvas

The size I will be painting on: "Dreams" - 60x70,

In the lessons I paint on linen canvases. You are free to choose the size. It is worth going by the ratio of the sides.

If the reference is elongated, the difference between the sides should be 20 cm or more (for example 40x60 / 50x70).

Classic rectangular formats have a 10cm difference (40x50 / 50x60)

Squares or circles you also choose according to the reference.

I do not mind if you depart from the given canvas proportions, for example if the reference is elongated and you decide to take a square canvas.

It is always an interesting creative task.

Mikhail Mishinsky

Artist, teacher

Mikhail Mishinsky
  • Founder of the online creative school "ARTCLASS"
  • Co-founder of the painting school "Izo Project PARTA"

Back in 1996 my parents took me to a children's art school. That was how it was done - children were sent to learn to draw. But unlike my classmates at the "art school", even then I had made up my mind that painting would be my profession.

After school I went to a college of culture, where I qualified as a "Master Artist". It is the place where they taught me not only to paint, but to cross-stitch, to knot macramé, to model and to carve... In short, everything you can possibly imagine in the crafts was passed on to me there by experienced teachers.
