Materials for Jane Jones’

2H pencil
kneaded eraser

2 sheets of 19 x 24” tracing paper
Painting supplies:
12 x 16 paper palette (make sure it is for OILS, not acrylics)
Palette seal to fit the paper palette
Palette knife for mixing paint (I prefer one with a bent handle)
SOFT paper towels, like Viva brand
Winsor & Newton Sansodor (odorless turp), not Turpenoid
Small jar for Sansodor such as an artichoke heart jar - optional
Murphy’s Oil Soap in a small container - optional
Winsor & Newton Liquin (NOT Liquin Fine Detail, or Light Gel)

stylus or ball point pen
Oil Paints: Except for the Titanium White, these are all transparent colors that are used for glazing. This class is about glazing and the most beautiful glazes are made with transparent paint. Glazes can be made with opaque colors, but they are not as lovely as those made from transparent color.
Titanium White – I suggest using Titanium White over other whites because it is the most opaque. With that in mind, bring a good professional or artist grade paint such as Winsor & Newton, Rembrandt or Grumbacher. Student grade brands, such as Winton, Grumbacher’s Academy or Daler-Rowney’s Georgian brand will not have the opacity that is necessary for underpainting. Permalba White or alkyd whites are not opaque enough either.
Transparent Yellow (Rembrandt is a good brand, and less expensive than Winsor & Newton)
Indian Yellow*
Gamblin Napthol Scarlett or Scarlett Lake from W & N will work.
Alizarin Crimson or Permanent Alizarin Crimson
Purple Madder*
Ultramarine Blue or French Ultramarine Blue
Phthalo Turquoise
Viridian - optional
Sap Green*
Payne’s Gray
Ivory Black *Winsor & Newton if possible
Raw Sienna
Brushes: synthetic or sable, they should not be stiff like a bristle brush, rather they should have a nice “spring” to them, and a soft texture.
Flat –1 or 2 of each size: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
I suggest any of the following: (the letter in parenthesis that follow each type of brush refers to the list of places below where it can be purchased.)
Da Vinci Nova synthetic series (2, 3)
Da Vinci Nova Red Sable series 1810 and 1812 (3)
Winsor and Newton Scepter Gold II 101 (6)
Royal & Langnickel Royal Sable Flats (1)
Loew Cornell 7300 Golden Taklon Flat (5) I have these available for purchase during the workshop.
Mop brushes: these are the only ones that are brand specific.
At least one each of Loew – Cornell’s AMM and of ADM (These are very small mop brushes and are hard to find, so I make them available for purchase.)
Loew Cornell 275 Camel Hair Oval Mop Brush ½” and 1” (5) – I have these available for purchase.
OR Winsor & Newton series 340, numbers 4, 5 and 6 (5)
OR Winsor & Newton series 140, sizes 5/8, 7/8 (5)
3 2 -inch China Bristle brushes, sometimes they are called “chip” brushes (from a hardware or art supply store) (These are REALLY inexpensive brushes.)
Painting surfaces:
1 12 x 16 inch and 2 9 x 12 inch painting surfaces
canvas (portrait grade) or hardboard prepared with gesso such as gessoboard from Ampersand (this is the best product and can be seen at www.ampersandart.com ). Other brands such as Houston Art are too rough and inferior in how they perform. You will only use one painting surface, but bring two just in case you need an extra.
Swing Arm Lamp that can use a 100-watt light bulb (60 watts will not be strong enough). And bring a spare 100-watt light bulb. You will be using this to accelerate the drying time of your painting overnight. Since we will be working in layers it is absolutely necessary that your paint be dry at the beginning of each day. If you are traveling out of town for the workshop, consider bringing an extension cord; you may need one that is about 10 feet long.
