Beginning Oil Painting - Instructed by Jessica WarnerWednesdays from 1/21-3/11, 6:00-8:30 pm (8 weeks)Art Studio (Room 10) - Ages Teen-Adult An introduction to oil painting, its materials, techniques, and processes. Structured for beginners but welcome to painters of all levels! We will work from direct observation, developing perceptual skills along with technical facility, finding and developing &nbsp;personal voice along the way. Mostly we will spend our time making paintings but we will also look at paintings, our own, each others as well as examples from contemporary and historical artists. This class is part of an ongoing series, each with a slightly different focus. Students can purchase items on the supply list below. &nbsp;Oil paints for use in class can be provided for an optional $25 materials fee. Oil Painting Supply List Items with an asterisk are optional, all others are required. Purchase materials online at&nbsp;dickblick.com, jerrysartarama.com or locally at Michael&rsquo;s (at the Ithaca mall) Oil colors: Please note that you can use CSMA paints during classes for an optional fee instead of purchasing a number of paints right away. Alizarin Crimson, 37 ml Cadmium Red Medium, 37 ml Cadmium Yellow Medium, 37 ml Cadmium Lemon or Hansa Yellow Light, 37ml Ultramarine Blue, 37 ml Cerulean Blue, 37 ml Burnt Sienna, 37 ml Yellow Ochre, 37 ml Titanium White, 200 ml * Zinc White, 200 ml - DO NOT get &ldquo;Water-mixable&rdquo; oil paint. BEWARE; if the color says &ldquo;Hue&rdquo; after it, it is a cheap knock-off of&nbsp;the real color Mediums:Please Note: CSMA has a &ldquo;NO Turpentine&rdquo; policy Instead: Linseed oil Paint thinner: Gamblin &ldquo;Gamsol&rdquo; odorless mineral spirits-1-qt. Brushes: Advice about brushes: Brushes are expensive. Buy the best you can afford. Often it is better to buy brushes individually, not in sets. Don&#39;t&nbsp;buy the very cheapest brands unless you must. Windsor and Newton brushes are all good, and come in a range of prices. Curiously, inexpensive house brands from Pearl, Utrecht, and Dick Blick (all available online) are ok, as long as you avoid the very,&nbsp;very cheapest. 6 brushes total I suggest buying mainly bristle with a couple of synthetic, get a range of shapes, flat, round and filbert and a range of sizes. Below is a suggested assortment but this is flexible. If you already have brushes, it&#39;s ok to use those. Round: Nylon/synthetic, round, 3/16&quot; bristle, round, 1/4&quot; bristle, round, 1/2&quot; Flat: Synthetic or bristle 1/4&quot; 1/2&quot; Optional larger than 1/2&quot; Filbert: Your choice, anywhere between 1/4&quot; and 1/2&quot; Utrecht Natural Chungking Pure Bristle Brush - Set of 4, Long Handle Utrecht Natural Chungking Pure Bristle Brush - Filbert, Size 1, Long&nbsp;Handle Metal Palette Knife (with a bend before the blade goes into the handle&nbsp;and a sharp point) Palette paper pad (note you can instead use wax or freezer paper, which&nbsp;you can find in a supermarket- both options work well) Surfaces: Stretched canvases or canvas boards 12x16&rdquo; or larger canvases or canvas boards. I suggest getting a couple for the first weeks at least and then purchase as needed but also fine to stock up. supplies from Hardware Store or Home: -Jars (3 spaghetti sauce sized, all with lids) -small jar with lid -freezer paper if you choose instead of paper palette cotton painting rags (several) or roll of absorbent paper towels Suggested: ArtBin Carrying Case - Medium, 14&quot; x 10 1/4&quot; x 3 3/8&quot;, Translucent White or some other way to transport materials.
