Landscape Painting Materials

Easel

landscape easel (also folding seat if needed)

Surfaces

2 canvases or artist panels size approximately 14x18 to 16x20

(one is for a painting to be completed during the class; the other is a backup surface)

Palette

Disposable palette

Oil paint in the following colors

(I recommend artist grade, not student grade--such as Windsor and Newton’s Winton line--because it has more pigment and less filler. Gamblin, Windsor & Newton, Rembrandt, Holbein, Williamsburg—all good brands):

• • Ivory Black

  • Transparent Oxide Red or Burnt Sienna

  • Ultramarine Blue

  • Cobalt Blue

  • Cerulean Blue

  • Kings Blue

  • Dioxizine Purple

  • Viridian

  • Alizarin Crimson or Permanent Alizarin

  • Cadmium Red Light

  • Cadmium Yellow Light

  • Permalba White or Titanium white

• Acrylic paint (for toning the canvas)

  • Raw Umber

2 Trekell Red Sable Round Size 20
