Ultra blue Naples yellow
Cobalt blue Red
Pthalo blue Pale gold
Cobalt turquoise light Gold
Indian yellow Copper
Quin magenta Lemon yellow
Brilliant magenta Olive green
Red gold.
Any of these and any other colours you have. (I think most people will have these colours from Sarah’s and Jenni Kelly’s workshops.)
Some inks – blue, magenta, yellow, turquoise. Drop a bead into these inks when mixing.
Three canvases approximately 30 x 24” gessoed before the workshop.
Prior to the workshop can the participants mix their favourite background colours from the list on the left, into small glass jars with lids or plastic containers with lids. A squoosh of paint, a few drops of flow medium and the rest water to make thin paints. This will save time and make sure the paints are mixed ready to start.
1 tube of squeeze ezy – No More Gaps
Flow medium
Drawing materials, including charcoal
Normal water spray bottle with a squirt of flow medium added to the water
Paper towels, Chux cloths
A few Atelier fine mist water sprayers. ( we can share these amongst the group or they can have one each. They are not expensive.)
Cabot’s gloss and satin Crystal Clear varnishes. (We can buy one of each to share or people can use their own art brand varnishes if they prefer.)
Palette knives, credit cards, brushes, rollers, fingers, anything to put paint on canvas.
Masking tape, scissors. Paint palettes.
Sheets of plastic and newspaper for putting work on to dry, lying flat on the verandah.
Any material to add texture if people want it. (tissue paper, bubble wrap, cardboard etc.)
Hair dryers to share. Resource material of things they would like to paint. Photocopy resource material in black and white and blow it up about ½ an A4 or full A4 size.
We will be doing backgrounds in the artists’ own favourite colours and the subject matter will also be in those colours.
The list seems a lot, but most people will have these already.
