Room A

Working with a model, Bob will demonstrate how to get an oil portrait started. He will work with shadow, light, and shape to get initial accuracy in the model's features. Participants will then have an opportunity to experiment with this process and are encouraged to bring a camera to document the model's pose. No experience with oils necessary.

Suggested Supplies:
· Oil paints (Any brands will do, but professional quality, not student grade, will be best. I prefer Vasari and Williamsburg, but Winsor/Newton is fine): burnt umber, burnt sienna, prussian blue, ultramarine blue, cadmium red medium, cadmium yellow medium, titanium white (or a 6 to 4 mix of titanium and zinc white). Other colors that may be included (in order of importance): yellow ochre, alizarin crimson, sap green, raw sienna, raw umber, blue black, violet, thalo blue, thalo green, cerulean blue, and anything else you may want to bring.

· Brushes: Bristle bright: #8, and 10 or 12 ($8 to $12 each) Sable flat: # 4, and 6 or 8 ($4 to $8 each) Pointed sable: #4 ($3 to $6 each) This is a very basic list, which can be expanded with Filbert bristles #4, 6 and 8.

· 16" X 20" stretched canvas or canvas board (two panels, just in case).

· Gamsol (a truly odorless turpentine substitute) and a lidded metal or glass container that will hold at least a cup of fluid (olive jar size).

· Cotton rags (white) and/or paper towel (Bounty works best).

· Clothes you don't mind getting messed up (You may be the neatest painter in the world, but you'll be working next to me).

Think ahead about how you will transport your painting home. You will need a flat box, tray, or something similar because the oil paint will not have dried by the end of class.
