List of Materials
Paint
Ultramarine Blue (Michael Harding)
Kings Blue Deep (MH) (I had Bice by Vasari on my palette, but Kings Blue Deep is a reasonably close substitute and is less expensive.)
Rose Madder (MH)
Chinese Vermillion (MH) ( I kept referring to this as Cadmium Red Medium, which is a less expensive option to Chinese Vermillion, see list below)
Burnt Sienna (WN)
Yellow Brown (Old Holland)
Cadmium Yellow Medium (Gamblin)
Naples Yellow Genuine Light (MH)
Cadmium Lemon (WN)
Flake White Replacement (Gamblin)

If you are just starting with oil painting, this would be the palette I would suggest since they are more economical than some of the brands and pigments I currently use. These are still professional-grade paints and will give you great color-mixing options and you’ll be able to follow along with my oil painting tutorials.
