Palette Colors:  Recommended Brands:  Gamblin, Windsor- Newton, Holbein, or Rembrandt (Always, buy Artist Grade, not Student Grade paints)  Winton is a student grade – very poor mixing quality

  Alizarin Crimson

  Cadmium Yellow Light

  Cadmium Orange

  Cadmium Red Light (Rembrandt the best)

  Cadmium Red Medium

  Permanent Green (optional)

  French Ultramarine Blue

  Indian Yellow

  Phthalo Blue

*Permanent Rose (optional)

  Viridian or Phthalo Green

  Cobalt Violet

  Titanium White (Permalba) is a good choice, as it is buttery

   Ivory Black or Chromatic Black (Gamblin) my favorite makes beautiful blues

 *Burnt Sienna, handy to have, but we can mix

   Raw Sienna

   Raw Umber

*Ultramarine Violet

 

 * = Optional Colors

Bristle Filbert  brushes such as, Silver Grand Prix, Princeton, or Isabey.  Sizes: 0, 1, 2, 4, 6 (or you may bring what you have)
