I have set up a class supply list at Utrecht Art Supplies @ this link:
This is a bare bones list - 5 tubes of acrylic paint and 2 brushes.
You choose your own canvas. Check for their free shipping.
Canvas: Stretched or boards - 11x14", 12x16" are good sizes - feel free to go bigger.
Paint: a 2 oz or 60 ml tube is a good size, yet you may want a larger white. Hues are fine to use. I prefer Golden, Grumbacher, Utrecht, and Winsor Newton brands.
You may use either acrylic or oil paint - or both. We will discuss colors and other supplies during the first class. Box sets are good, as well.
Acrylic: dries fast - mixes and cleans with water - variety of additives.
colors: Quinacridone Red; Ultramarine Blue and Cerulean Blue; Yellow - Azo, Cadmium, Hansa, or Primary Yellow; Titanium White.
Oil: dries slower - mixes and cleans with turpentine, turpenoid, or mineral spirits (look for no or low odor).
colors: Quinacridone Red; Ultramarine Blue and Cerulean Blue; Yellow - Cadmium, Hansa, or Permanent, or Winsor; Titanium White.
Brushes: At least 1 flat - size 8,10,12, 1/2", or 3/4" and 1 round - size 8,10, or 12.
synthetic bristles - for acrylic, oil, or watercolor; natural bristles - for oil or watercolor.
Palette or painting knives: metal or a plastic set - for mixing and applying paint.
Palettes: disposable palette paper; wax or freezer paper; plastic plates; plastic trays with a sealable top is good to keep paint wet and reusable.
* I provide disposable paper palettes, paper towels, rags, and water containers;
* I have a few aprons - but you may need an apron, smock, or painting clothes;
* you may have paint and brushes at home, even if old, may still be good.
I buy mostly online from utrecht.com, dickblick.com, jerrysartarama.com -
Asel Art Supply gives a 10% discount to CAC students -
Aaron Bros, Hobby Lobby, Michaels - have weekly sales; even JoAnns have paint supplies.
