OIL PAINTING SUPPLIES LIST
By: Leslie Pruneau
Paint Colors: This list is a good, basic paint supplies list for any beginner, but should continue to be modified as you continue to paint. For the more affordable paints, I recommend M. Graham & Co. or Windsor Newton’s Winton colors. Of course if you can afford higher quality paints, check out Holbein, Old Holland, Gamblin, Charvin, or Windsor Newton.
The Colors:
(***Most Important basic colors, ** Highly Recommended, * Optional-a good choice for many painters)
*** Titanium White
*** Cadmium Red Medium
*** Cadmium Yellow Medium
*** Ultramarine Blue
*** Cobalt Blue
*** Alizarin Crimson permanent
*** Lemon Yellow
** Burnt Umber
** Yellow Ochre
** Burnt Sienna
** Cerulean Blue
** Phthalo Green
** Phthalo Blue
** Prussian Blue
** Raw Sienna
** Raw Umber
* Ivory Black
*Cadmium Orange
* Magenta and/or Dioxazine Purple
* Cobalt Green light
Mixing Mediums
Odorless mineral spirits, like “Turpenoid” or “Gamsol”, and a linseed oil, or other type of oil of your choice. There are lots of oil painting mediums on the market, and they can be very useful, but they vary greatly. We will briefly discuss some of these mediums in class.
Brushes: each artist will require their own specific “tools” to create the effects that they are searching for to portray their subjects. This is a good starter collection:
- 1' Flat Bristle Brush (#12)
- #4, #6 and/or #8 Flat Bright Bristle Brush (short bristle)
- #3, #4, and/or #6 filberts (hog bristle)
- #4 Round Nylon or Bristle Brush (soft), #2 Round Bristle Brush
- Palette Knife #11 is good (optional, but very useful…I also like experimenting with all the scrapers that are available today…try it, you might like it.
- Fan shaped brush (optional)--don’t forget to buy yourself a new brush every time you go to the art store!
Painting Surfaces:
You will need a stretched, primed canvas or a primed wood panel. A medium sized canvas, 16”x20” or 11”x14” would work well…nothing smaller than 9x12, or larger than 18x24 inches. Try to avoid the cheaper “canvas panels” with the paper-like backing…they are not archival. If you purchase a primed canvas, I recommend applying an extra coat of primer or an extra coat of acrylic matte medium…the surface needs to be completely dry before class (let dry for 24hrs).
Paper palette (or any palette that you prefer)
Checklist for other items you will need:

Artist Statement & Bio
I paint to reveal the content of a piece; the subject matter is really just a small part of the what makes a painting. Imagine a carefully rendered painting of a red apple on a plate; now imagine a purple, hot pink and lime green apple painted in thick, impasto brushstrokes; the subject is the same, but the content would be completely transformed! With respect to my classically-trained painting background, my goals as an instructor are to impart as much technical information as possible for a painting’s integrity, tried-and-true formulas for strong compositions, and to share color theory properties, as well as color recipes that help to bring paintings to life. It will be up to the individual student to find their own expression, for that is something that no one can teach you! For many of my 35+ years as a studio artist in Raleigh, New York, NY and Berlin, Germany, I have always been inspired knowing that the pursuit and journey is the best part of being an artist. Outside of my studio work, I exhibit my work both nationally and internationally, hold lectures on Master paintings, offer critiques, and am an owner of a gallery in downtown Durham, 5 Points Gallery. |
