For some encouragement, watch this great little video from Angela: https://youtu.be/SrgpDmvlvRE

Our “Discovery!” series was developed for brand new students. These 1-day workshops provide a cheerful, inspiring and non-intimidating place, where you are surrounded by other new students (not seasoned artists), and led step-by-step by an instructor who loves teaching beginners.  Come on! Join the fun and make a Discovery!

Painting should be fun and an outlet for your creative energy, and you should feel safe to learn in an environment that is helpful and encouraging and NOT judgmental or stressful. This is the place for that! In her fun and super-helpful way, Angela will give you a great step-by-step introduction into painting with oils, helping you to feel more confident through the skills you will be practicing and the tools you’ll get to know.

Supply List:

For home delivery of your supplies, Angela has compiled a list of course materials for your course at dickblick.com. To visit this list, please go to  https://www.dickblick.com/lists/blicku/H871C6GUE8ZB5/publicview/

OIL PAINT:

  • Titanium White

  • Cadmium Yellow Light

  • Quinacridone Rose (alternate could be Alizarin Crimson Permanent or Quinacridone Red)

  • Ultramarine Blue

  • Burnt Umber

MEDIUMS:

  • Walnut Oil (for cleaning your brushes during painting process instead of mineral spirits)

  • Walnut Alkyd Medium (a fast dry medium)Palette: disposable paper palettes work well, but a permanent palette will keep the paints for longer - wood, plastic or glass work well too.

BRUSHES:

  • About a one-inch size filbert or bright brush

  • One 1/4-inch flat or filbert brush

  • One round brush, small-to-medium sized (if it has a nice point to it, size doesn’t matter too much.)

  • Palette Knife for mixing paint - a plastic one will be included in the items provided by Angela, but if you plan to purchase one, she recommends a metal palette knife (small-medium one with a diamond shape, pointy at the tip, works best)

PALETTE
Although disposable paper palettes work for oil, Angela recommends a permanent palette to keep the oil paints for longer, such as wood, plastic or glass. Whatever you get, the palette must be flat with no wells or indents.

OTHER:

  • Canvas: one 9x12 inch canvas or canvas panel

  • Paper Towels

  • Glass container with lid for walnut oil

  • Box to carry the wet oil painting in after class

  • Box to carry the wet oil palette in after class

  • Easel: Tabletop or standing easel. If you don’t have an easel, try putting a roll of paper towels under your canvas
