Art Materials List
I have listed below some art materials required for the course but you do not need to use the exact same brushes, brands of paints and tools that I do. I am just showing you what I use and what works for me. If you have any questions about materials, please do not hesitate to email me on samanthamccubbin1@hotmail.co.uk
I am tailoring this list towards oil painters but if you use acrylics, you will just need water instead of solvent (a spray bottle filled with water would work for some of the techniques)
If you choose to use acrylics instead of oils, then you will not need the solvent or the oil but just water in a mug instead.
- Oil Paper
- Canvasses
- Gesso primer if your canvasses are not primed
- Oil Paints (there are not rules regarding exact colours to buy but I will make some suggestions) or Acrylic Paints if you prefer to use these
- A clear oil medium (to help the spread and flow of the paint) and a small dish / mug to put it in
- Paint Thinner / solvent and a mug just for this
- Mugs / jam jars
- A range of brushes (These don’t need to be expensive, high-quality brushes) Old bristly brushes work well too
- Baby Wipes or wet wipes of any kind
- Disposable paint palettes or tin / aluminum foil
- Palette knife (I like one that is smaller and slightly bendy to help spread the paint)
- A stand easel / desk easel. You can work on a table if it is easier
Landscape painting is all about texture so think outside the box for items to use. You don’t need to spend much money on these! Ideas include;
- Rags, Tissue paper / kitchen roll (this is used specially to dab on the painting for the effect of flowers)
- Crayons, pencils, pen, marker, collage, dried herbs and spices
