Landscape Painting with Bethanne Kinsella Cople
Good quality paints are essential, especially when beginning . . . always buy the best quality you can afford. Gamblin is a good quality paint that is not too expensive. Please do not buy student grade paints . . . they do not have the pigment strength needed for mixing beautiful colors.
Oil Paint
Cadmium Yellow Light
Cadmium Lemon
Gamblin Gold Ochre (or Yellow Ochre but I prefer Gold Ochre)
Alizarin Crimson
Ultramarine Blue
Cerulean Blue
Viridian
Burnt Sienna
Titanium White
Chromatic Black (from Gamblin)
You may bring any other colors you feel comfortable with also. I love some of the radiant colors from Gamblin, especially Radiant Red
Canvases
Plenty of canvases in the 6” x 8”, 8” x 10”, or 9” x 12” ranges
Please don’t bring stretched cotton canvas or cotton on board. The paint does not handle well on this surface and can be very frustrating. Instead you can buy linen on board or stretched, or you can gesso your own masonite boards. If you have any questions about this you may email me. You can get pads of linen sheets in the above sizes. You can tape a sheet on a board to paint on and then when dry you can mount the successful paintings on board. In addition you can purchase Arches oil paper and just as you would sheets of linen, mount it on boards. I have been experimenting with oil paper and find it a wonderful substrate for oil.
Brushes and Knives
REAL Hog bristle brushes (synthetic brushes don’t work well) you only need a couple. I prefer flats, sizes 6, 8, 10.
Palette knives for painting…. these are angled or offset. Have at least one that is rectangular.
Jar for odorless mineral spirits
Baby wipes
Wet panel carriers like Raymar corrugated carriers, Paper towels
OMS… I prefer Gamsol,
Any medium you like, I suggest Gamblin Galkyd Gel or Galkyd Lite.
