Subject: workshop supply list

---- HIGH QUALITY odorless mineral spirits such as Gamsol or Turpenoid
---- palette with enough room for mixing
---- rags or paper towels
---- palette knife and/or scraper
---- containers for medium and washing brushes
---- flat or filbert bristle brushes in a range of sizes
---- anything else you normally use for painting. For my medium I use Gamsol with a
      little Galkyd (Gamblin alkyd)mixed in.

I'll suggest a basic list of colors. Where I favor a specific brand it is listed but anything in any
brand that is similar is fine.
---Titanium white
---Winsor/Newton cadmium lemon
---W/N cadmium yellow pale
---Winsor/Newton Indian Yellow
---terra rosa
---W/N cadmium scarlet
---Rembrandt permanent madder deep (Permanent alizarin crimson)
---Ultramarine Blue
---Viridian
---Ivory black or Sepia
---W/N raw umber


I'm also going to list the other colors I often have on my palette. If you have any of them or
something similar bring it along but don't feel like you have to go out and buy them all. I'm
always willing to share some of mine if the situation calls for it. Please keep this list so that
we don't have to take up class time with people writing down what I'm using.

---Rembrandt transparent oxide yellow
---Rembrandt transparent oxide red
---Mars violet
---W/N Permanent rose
---W/N Permanent magenta
---Dioxazine purple
---Cobalt blue
---Holbein Greenish Yellow
---Rembrandt Greenish umber


Other things:

--- small panels or canvases ( 9x12, 11x14)
I think in a workshop situation that most people learn more doing quick studies rather than having
their focus on trying to complete a finished painting. The number of panels you bring depends
on how fast you paint but I would say 5 or 6 might be a good number.
