This is the cow we painted in the live class.  It’s a royalty-free image I sourced online.  I’m pretty sure I cropped this image out of a larger grouping of cows.

• Oil Paints – Buy the best you can.  This is where you want to spend your money, because artist-grade paints have more concentrated pigments, so you can mix the colors without making mud.  I like Windsor & Newton and Gamblin.  (See below for some alternatives.)
  • Titanium White – W&N Titanium White
  • Ultramarine Blue – W&N Ultramarine Blue Green Shade
  • Yellow Ochre Pale – W&N YOP
  • Burnt Sienna – W&N Burnt Sienna
  • Cadmium Yellow – Gamblin Cadmium Yellow Medium
• Gamsol (This is to thin the paint and clean brushes.  You can also use turpentine, paint thinner, etc.) – Gamsol 14 oz bottle
• Container for Gamsol/solvent (You can also use a glass jar with a screw-on lid) – Leak-Proof Solvent Container
• 5 x 7 or 6 x 8 canvas or canvas board.  If you are painting on something else, that’s okay, too!
• Palette – I use a wood palette, but you can order a glass one (white or gray), a paper palette (again, white or gray), or use a paper plate, a piece of cardboard, or even a piece of glass in a cheap/old frame.
• Paper towels
• Ziplock bag
• Soap to clean brushes & hands – I use Murphy’s Oil soap to clean my brushes and baby oil to clean my hands.  You can also use an olive-oil-based soap or any soap that will clean off oil and grease.
• Easel – You don’t have to buy an easel, but could purchase an inexpensive tabletop easel.  If you want to get a little fancier, you can buy a pochade box that has an easel and palette built-in.  Really, though, you can paint flat or just prop your canvas up on some books or a cardboard box.  Don’t let the lack of an easel stop you from joining us!
• Brushes – The bushy brush I’ve been using is actually not an Eclipse, but a Master’s Choice Long Filbert No. 4.  You can get it HERE, too.  The stiff-bristled brush I use is the No. 1 Ivory Long Flat (you can get it HERE, too) both from Rosemary & Co.  Both of these shops (one in the US and one in the UK) are shipping to customers.

If the paints are sold out or back-ordered, try Blick, Jerry’s Artarama, or Utrecht.
