In this class, students will develop an understanding of basic oil painting and will have an introduction

into basic color theory.

This class is designed to elevate students’ fears surrounding oil painting as well as demystifying the

aura of oil painting with several specific lessons. Each lessons offers a balance of how to use simple

color pallets, tips for how to mix and apply paint, and best of all a finished painting at the end of each

class.

The introduction to oil painting will make anyone less fearful of oil paint and more excited to learn

and grow with the practice. The materials used in this class are basic and will not be at great a cost,

so the students can rest easy. I guarantee to make oil painting fun for anyone!

Supplies

Intro to Oil Painting

Course Materials

Basic Set of Oil Paints are enough to get started. These can be found at Michaels and Hobby Lobby

If interested in specific colors a prismatic/earth tone, or warm/cool of each color is recommended.

Blues: Cobalt and Cerulean

Greens: Sap and Viridian

Reds: Cad Red and Indian Red

Yellows: Cad Yellow and Yellow Ochre

Oranges: Cad Orange and Burnt Sienna

Titanium White is a good all around white, zink is ok as well.

Lamp Black is the best black, black is used sparingly though

Other color suggestions are not necessary to start with but depends on what students interests are

include Dioxane Purple, Raw Umber, Indigo, Pthalo Turquoise, and Cobalt Turquoise.

Brushes: A large and small of each type is recommended to start with. A 2 and a 8 for an example as

far as sizes. Types of brushes include round, flat, and filbert. Other brushes can be recommended for

later uses.

Pallet Knifes are highly recommended for proper color mixing techniques. My personal preference is

the spade shape, but any knife will work.

Pallet surface to work on would be a piece of plexiglass or small piece of glass are highly

recommended. Alternatives include throwaway plastic sheets found at Michaels or Hobby Lobby.

Any odorless solvent works for brush cleaning. Plentiful amount of rags for cleaning are

recommended. Gloves are recommended as well.
