Materials list for portrait painting: Level 2

The best art supply store on the island is an art store by the name of Hawaiian Graphics. You can purchase everything there.

What you will need

• 8x10” canvas panel. We will be using 4 of these for small projects before starting our longer term portrait project. These are canvases that have been attached to cardboard rather than stretched on stretcher bars.

• Paint brushes. Assorted sizes, "filbert" brush shape ("signet" is the brand of brush I use)

• Terpenoid

• Sealable gar for storing brush cleaner or medium

• Refined linseed oil

• Medium cups (small containers used for holding already mixed painting medium)

• Pallet (the bigger the pallet the better. Wood pallets are best, followed by glass, then plastic, then paper. Try to avoid white pallets). ZAFA sells wooden pallets. If you are interested in ZAFA brand pallets, contact William at (808) 938-3861

• Pallet knife (each artist has their own preference of pallet knife shape. Personally, I prefer the long, rectangular pallet knives)

• Paint

  • Titanium white

  • Cadmium yellow light

  • Yellow ocher

  • Vermilion (red)

  • Alizarine crimson

  • Ivory black
