Suggested Palette: Brands ~ Utretch, Windsor&Newton, Rembrandt Note: (for beginners I listed some brands I use because colors vary from paint company to paint company these brands I use make reliable pigments. Some of the less expensive brands you might save some money but you will find they do not have enough real pigment in them to make great paintings. I learned this when I first started painting.)

Solvent: Gamsol or Turpenoid

Brushes: Arizona Art Supplies or Online at Jerry’s Artarama I recommend using flats, and angle brushes in average sizes(1/2”,3/4”brush width), for starting out simply simmons sold at the Arizona art supply are good and inexpensive or buying a basic set will save you guessing.

Miscellaneous:

Palette: Disposable Paper or Glass – for beginners this is a less expensive option for starting out Note: I use the blue Masterson”s Stay Wet Pallette with glass window pane insert from Home Depot. Silicoil Jar, or Steel Turp. jar- to put the Turpenoid or Gamsol In Palette Knife: Small Triangular wedge shaped painting knife Paper Towels: Viva Towels – Note: to beginners buy the smooth Viva towels with no marks or patterns Winsor Newton (Liquin) or Favorite Medium: OPTIONAL Note: School Supplies Easels, and Still Life setups

Supplies for Painting the floral Still Life – Acrylic supplies

Painting Surface : You may use canvas, canvas boards or panels.

Sizes: 8”x8”, 10”x10”, 12”x12”,or rectangle shape 8”x10”, 6”x8”, 9”x12” these are suggestions you choose what size you like to work in.

Make sure you use a professional grade Acrylic paint – Brands like Golden, Utrecht Acrylics, Liquitex

Note: There is a huge difference in quality if you by inexpensive student grade paints you will not be able to make great paintings because of the lack of pigments in the paints. I find Golden to be the most trustworthy and then Utrecht’s.

Brushes: I use Flats – Utrecht mixed synthetic #14, Princeton Summit 600F Flat #6 Princeton “Stroke” ½” Michael’s has good inexpensive synthetic brushes in their brush department as well. Feel free to use whatever you are comfortable with.

Paint Colors : If you want to start with just the basics and not buy all the colors listed the main colors needed I’ve highlighted and underlined.

Titanium White , Cobalt Blue, Ultramarine Blue , Cad Yellow light , Indian yellow, Alizarin Crimson , Cad red light, orange, Sap Green , Magenta, or Quinacridone Red, Payne’s Grey.

Palette: Strathmore Palette Paper white, or for a little more money a Masterson’s Stay Wet palette. The Masterson’s has a sponge that you moisten and it keeps the paints from drying out (comes with palette). Good idea for Arizona!

Misc: Paper towels, gloves (if you use them), palette knife, Spray bottle for watering paint. Apron, smile.
