Materials List
Stella
Canfield
This
materials list is for the very beginners, to give them an idea of the very
basic colors and other supplies that are recommended to start with. Please
note that the list also retains my personal choice of supplies.
If you
already have materials please do not hesitate to use them. However, I do
recommend using professional quality materials, the result depends on it.
Paints:
Lemon
Yellow WN or Hansa DS, (very cool yellow)
Cadmium
Yellow (warm yellow),
Raw
Sienna WN (very warm yellow),
Raw Umber

Burned
Sienna WN or Burned Orange

Permanent
Alizarin Crimson WN,

Ultramarine Bleu,

Cerulean
Bleu WN.
Artist’s
quality (not student’s quality) paints are recommended.
Windsor
and
Newton
, Daniel
Smith, Grumbacher, or Holbine's colors are equally good and I use them all.
Palette:
Covered
plastic palette with at least 12 wells and
large
mixing space. John Pike is an excellent choice since it is sturdier and
more airtight then any other palette on the market.
Brushes: DS Platinum Series (Synthetic and squirrel hair) is my choice. Very inexpensive for the quality they represent. I use Round Mop #10, Round #20 and #12 and an Isabey 3/0 as a rigger. If you are serious about painting, I would recommend you get a 1 ˝" or 2" flat brush also from the same series (for painting on larger papers). There are many brushes on the market, synthetic and natural, cheap and expensive. Think of how serious you are with painting. If you need help with buying and choosing brushes, you are welcome to give me a call. I will be more than happy to be of assistance. My advice is to start with at least three good natural brushes. Treat yourself to it; it is worth it! Paper: 3 full sheets (more if you wish) / make 6 half or 12 quarter sheets/ 140 lb. cold press paper. My personal choice is Arches Paper. Use of professional quality paper is recommended. Light board: (gaterboard, foam board or corrugated plastic) to attach your paper on for support, approximately 23 x 16 /for half sheet paper/. Mics.: Sketchbook, pencil, kneaded eraser, 2 water containers /plastic jars, 1quart/, paper towels, masking tape or big clamps to attach the paper to the board. Kitchen SPONGE (not abrasive), rollers etc. Photo references. Here are some WebPages for art supplies: Daniel Smith www.danielsmith.com |
