Scott reviews all the supplies you will need for oil painting and makes several recommendations.
Brushes (see next episode "Rosemary Brushes" for more details). Tip: Keep brushes clean and / or stay in the same value range with your brushes.
Paint (discussed further in "Vasari Paint" and "Using Vasari Greys" episodes).
Palette knife
Viva paper towels
AOP Journal and/or Canvas (see supply shop)
Easel (optional)
Mediums (some of these are discussed in further detail in "Materials, Mediums and Set-Up" in the Continuing Education Membership). A drying medium for oil paints and a cleaner are required for starting. Neo Megilp is recommended as a drying medium (see more in Viscosity- Oil for one way to use this medium). Gamsol or a paint thinner is necessary for cleaning brushes.
Gather materials for the medium of your choice.
Please reference the download tab for the full recommended supplies list.
