PLEASE SCROLL ALONG FOR THE STILL LIFE PHOTOGRAPHS YOU WILL NEED
This is a recorded class on zoom so the quality of the video can vary
You will need:
4 A3 sheets of cartridge paper
One bright coloured bottle of ink - can be any brand.
4 round head brushes for acrylic/ oil - (bigger one for background wash, one older scruffy one for glue, one medium -size 2, and one fine- size 0)
PVA glue and a plastic pot to put some in.
Kitchen towel and a wet cloth to clean glue off hands.
Acrylic paint - as good a quality brand as you can afford. The better quality has stronger pigment and goes further. I buy cheaper brands for more ordinary colours and then more expensive for a selection of colours.
Recommended colours- perylene green, titanium white, quinacridone red, perylene violet, cadmium yellow medium, light yellow, ultramarine blue, permanent alizarian crimson, raw sienna, raw umber, permanent rose, permanent sap green.
A few of my other favourites are fluorescent violet, fluorescent pink, dioxazine purple, combat turquoise, quinacridone violet. Azo yellow deep, quinacridone magenta, phthalo turquoise
A3 Wooden board - primed with white acrylic or white acrylic gesso primer (in advance so it’s dry) . This can be any off cut of any wood you have at home – doesn’t matter if it’s not A3 but make sure it’s not too small. If you can’t get hold of wood use thick smooth card board or mount board. Make sure everything is painted white with paint of primer before the class. It needs to be dry.
Collage papers- thin coloured and patterned papers. For example tissue paper, thin wrapping paper, origami paper .
A small amount of a selection of bright and muted colours is fine. Please don’t go out and buy this – use whatever you have at home and you don’t need more than a handful of pieces
Scissors.
A hair dryer.
A stick for painting – either garden stick, chopstick or paintbrush using the other end – whatever you can find!
A couple of old plates or plastic lids to use as a palette. I like using tear off palettes.
An example of a background colour that you like – I often get inspiration from a painting that I like on a postcard or in an art book. Or even a magazine page. Have that colour ready to mix or in a tube so you can paint the background of your painting with it
