Materials
Paints
For paints we will need my classic set of paints.
I work with the French paint PEBEO. You can take paint from other makers, but the shades may differ.
Below is the list of paints with their PEBEO numbers
- titanium white25
- lemon yellow01
- cadmium yellow02
cadmium red 05/06/07 ( any one of them or all)
- light ochre20
- raw sienna21
- pink37
- madder50
- turquoise38
- cobalt12
- ultramarine14
- steel blue47
- black24
The only color from the Ladoga/Master Class range is Raw Leningrad Umber.
As you can see, I have no green.
Solvent
I paint with pure odorless pinene. If you are used to painting with oil or triple medium, that is up to you, but I recommend taking a closer look at my way of building a painting.
For
brushes
I use synthetic filberts. From the smallest to medium. You can take a flat wash brush if you like. I will not be relying on them. A bristle brush will not be a main brush either.
As the course is 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: 50x60 or 60x70
In the lessons I paint on linen canvases. The size is entirely up to you. 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 move away from the given canvas proportions, for example if the reference is elongated and you decide to take a square canvas.
That is always an interesting creative task.
