Art Material Suggestions for Oil paint
油彩美術用具:
The materials we are recommending are quality materials at the best price possible. Buying cheap quality materials for oil painting is a waste of money and it makes the process of painting more frustrating. We recommend that the materials be ordered online (this helps cut the cost)
Oil colors - order your oil colors from rghartistoilpaints.com (paint only). These colors are of excellent quality and the price is unbeatable. When you order, please let them know that Corey Peters recommended their paints to you. Sometimes they include color for you to try.
Oil Colors :
Titanium White 125 ml tube
Cadmium Yellow Light 37ml tube
Yellow Ochre 37ml tube
Cadmium Red Medium 37ml tube
Alizarin Crimson 37 ml tube
Viridian Green 37ml tube
Ultramarine Blue 37ml tube
Phthalo Green 37ml tube
Other Art Supplies:
Brushes - go to the website and in the search field in the upper left corner, type "Winsor and Newton Oil Brushes" order the FLAT kind only (NOT brights, rounds, filberts, etc). You will need the following sizes: #3, #6, #8, #10. You need 1 of each size.
Palette Knife – type “creative mark painters edge palette and painting knife style 3T” into the search field. This knife is good for both mixing color and for applying paint onto the canvas.
Deluxe Rectangular Wooden Palette - type this into the search field. Get the 12" x 16" size. This is inexpensive and will last a lifetime, if treated properly. It is also better for the environment (unlike disposable wax paper palettes, which end up being costly and wasteful)
Masterson Artists Palette Seal - type this into the search field. This item is for storing your palette at the end of each painting session. It keeps the paints wet for the next session, so that paint is not wasted
Da Vinci Air-tight Brush Washer - type this into the search field. This is to hold your mineral spirits, so that you can clean your brushes. These are not cheap, but they do not leak and they will last a lifetime. There are cheaper brush washers that you can buy, but they are awful because they leak, therefore, we would never recommend them.
Gamblin Gamsol Odorless Mineral Spirits (32 oz can) - type this into the search field. This fluid is what cleans the paint off the brushes and is what goes into the brush washer above.
Canvas – 12 X 16” 1 pack (3 per pack). Type “Centurion Oil Primed”. It’s canvas panel. (You are welcome to purchase additional canvas in different size).
Gloves – These are used to protect hands from oil paint. It is important to find something that FITS!! (Try it on before you buy it.) You can also get gardening gloves from any hardware store (Home Depot). that is rubbery on one side, and fabric on the other side. (sometimes Children size fits better)
Apron (optional) – Artist Denim Apron Design No. 37. (We have in school, but just in case you don’t want to share)
