Materials List for Visiting Artist Workshop: Basics of Oil Painting
Instructor: Douglas David
CLASS SUPPLY KITS
Great News! Oil Painting Supply Kits are now available through this link on BLICK. Douglas used to offer kits in class, but demand was too great to keep up with, so this is the better way to get all the correct materials for the workshop! You can click on the Blick link and order a kit in part or in its entirety, or
assemble the supplies on your own based on the BLICK list or the material list below.
(these are not absolute, just my way of getting to a good result)
MATERIALS LIST:
Basics of Oil Painting Tentative Outline:
1st hour: Welcome/Overview of Class & Terms.
2nd hour: Review Supplies and how to set up and get organized to paint, setting up the palette, and how to get started.
Lunch: Brown bag.
Last hour: Select and display various paintings accomplished / a small class show with discussions and summary by Douglas ends workshop on a very high note.
