These materials are required for new painting students and those students progressing from drawing to painting. Color theory requires specific colors, please do not substitute any of these colors.
These materials can easily be ordered from Blick Art Materials and Rosemary and Company and are usually delivered to your front door in about a week's time if everything is in stock. I suggest giving the order two weeks for delivery. If you choose to buy your materials at a local art store, please make sure to not buy any colors that have the word "hue" in them. Colors containing the word "hue" are not true colors and do not give us the same results that we require for color theory.
It is highly recommended to buy the specific brand of materials so that you have the same results in your studio that I have in mine. The paints, Gamblin Artist Colors, are artist grade and of high quality.
The brushes on the list are the same brushes that I use for Into to Oil Painting, Color Theory, and beginner courses. Although I usually use kolinsky sable brushes for my rounds, to keep the initial costs down I will use the Eclipse synthetic rounds.
If you have any questions about the painting materials, please contact the studio at [email protected].
