Introduction of the fundamental skills and concepts involved in oil painting. This class is open to all and is suitable for those new to oil painting and those with some experience that want to build painting skills and confidence in the medium of oil paint. Problems are structured to provide students with a knowledge of visual language along with a development of expressive content. Students learn color theory, tools, materials, preparation of canvas, value, techniques while painting from observation mainly still life. Supplies: • Basic Palette (cool) • *This limited palette is sufficient for most paintings– it is a good starting palette if you don’t already have oil paints CERULEAN BLUE CADMIUM LEMON ULTRAMARINE BLUE ALIZARIN CRIMSON TITANIUM WHITE (large tube) WINSOR RED (or Cadmium Red Medium) YELLOW OCHRE RAW UMBER ULTRAMARINE VIOLET VIRIDIAN Optional: Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber And 1 acrylic paint: Acrylic raw umber • A painting medium such as Galkyd, Liquin, or Neo Megilp. • Solvent (optional) Gamsol, or other odor-less turpentine substitute for thinning paint and clean up. • baby oil or safflower oil (for brush clean up) NOTE: solvents (gamsol, turpentine, turpenoid etc...) are not absolutely necessary!
