Join renowned artist Takeyce Walter in this immersive workshop designed for both beginners and seasoned painters eager to explore a fresh approach to oil painting. This class focuses on the alla prima (wet-on-wet) technique, where you'll learn how to complete a painting in one session by painting in a direct manner. Takeyce will guide you step-by-step through the fundamentals of working with oils, covering essential techniques like color mixing, brush handling, and creating rich textures. Whether you're a beginner discovering oil painting for the first time or an experienced artist looking to refine your skills, this workshop offers a new approach to help you capture your vision on canvas with confidence and spontaneity. Materials: Oil paints in a split primary palette + white Titanium White Cadmium Lemon (bright yellow) (cool) Cad Yellow (warm) Cadmium Red (bright red) (warm) Alizarin Crimson (cool) Cerulean Blue (cool) French Ultramarine (warm) Brushes Flat, Round, or Filbert in varying sizes #2, #4, #6, #8, #10 (Synthetic Bristle) I recommend synthetic bristle brushes (rough) specifically for alla prima oil painting. Filberts are my brushes of choice; flats are also very versatile. Try to have at least one of each brush type in a size you feel most comfortable with. Feel free to use your favorite brushes if you have them. Medium Linseed oil Gamsol Turpenoid natural (in the GREEN can) (cleaning brushes) You will also need a small jar with a lid to contain the Turpenoid for cleaning brushes, as well small cup with a lid to hold the linseed oil, or your preferred thinning medium. Palette Butcher tray palette, wooden palette, or your preferred set-¬‐up Disposable palette paper (wax paper from the supermarket works fine as well)*optional A palette is a surface to hold and mix your paints. I use a butcher tray palette and at times a traditional sealed wooden palette. Painting Surfaces Canvas paper Cotton or Linen stretched canvas or panels in varying sizes
