Expressive Painting

course code 230

Melissa Christiano


    I suggest staying away from the student grade colors. They may be less expensive but their colors are not as true. A good easy brand to find is Winsor Newton but beware, they have a student grade and a professional grade. You can tell the difference by the price but if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

    Colors:
  • Cobalt Blue
  • Cerulean Blue
  • French Ultramarine
  • Prussian Blue
  • Lemon Yellow or Windsor Yellow
  • Naples Yellow
  • Yellow Ochre
  • Cadmium Red Light
  • Bright Red or Cadmium Red Hue
  • Alizarin Crimson
  • Sap Green
  • Viridian
  • Permanent Green Light
  • Oxide of Chromium or Olive Green
  • Dioxazine Windsor Violet or Dioxazine Purple
  • Burnt Umber
  • Burnt Sienna
  • White

  • Supplies:
  • Canvas - choose your size but big is better.
  • Pallet - this can be a paper pallet or piece of old plexi-glass
  • Mineral Spirits or Turpentine - get this at Wal-Mart or a hardware store, do not pay the high prices at an art supply store.
  • Oil Medium (brand: liquin)
  • Color Wheel
  • Rags and Jars
  • Brushes: Round #6 #1 #4 Flats #6 #1 #8 (if your off a number just get close. Also make sure you are buying Oil brushes. These are usually made of hog hair).
