For paints we will need my classic set of colors.
I work with the French paint PEBEO. You can take paint from other manufacturers, but the shades may differ.
Below I list the paints and their PEBEO numbers
The only color from the Ladoga/Master Class range is - Raw Leningrad Umber.
The size I will be painting on: 50x60
In the lessons I paint on linen canvases. You are free to choose the size yourself. 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 10 cm 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 decided to take a square canvas.
It is always an interesting creative task.
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 look at my way of building a painting.
I use synthetic filberts. From the smallest to the medium ones. A wide flat brush you can take if you wish. I will not rely on them much. Bristle will not be the 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.
I always recommend having 2-4 palette knives of different shapes.
Paint your piece following the lesson and send a photo of it. The teacher will look at what worked and what to fix and reply right here; you will also get an email.
