    Materials List for Portraiture Class, Liz Frankland

    Acrylic or Oil Paints:

    Titanium White

    Cadmium Red 

    Yellow Ochre 

    Ivory Black 

    This is a good limited palette for anyone just starting. (Bring other colors that you already have.)  

    Brushes:

    Have one small round #2  brush for blocking in and another larger #4 flat or filbert for laying in the paint. Synthetic blends are good for edges.  Bristle brushes have a lot of texture, and are good for larger areas but not for details. I use the Tuscan series from Blick, maroon handles. (Bring any that you may already have.)

    Substrate: 

    Bring either a pad of canvas paper for oil/acrylic 9x12 or pre-gessoed canvas boards 9x12 .  We will be doing one study per session. 9x12 is a manageable size.  But 11x14 will work too.

    • we will be mixing paint for color charts and for our studies. and it’s helpful to be able to store them. Consider a stay-wet palette to store your mixed paint in. Blick sells them. For Acrylics, the Masterson Sta-wet Palette is nice. The red lidded one is for acrylics. The blue lidded one is for oils.

    Palette Knife - something metal and smaller that feels flexible; not plastic.
