Sample Materials List
Oil Paints
Alkyd Titanium White (the alkyd white aids faster drying time of the painting)
Lemon Yellow
Permanent Yellow Deep or Cadmium Yellow Hue*
Cadmium Red Light or Cadmium Red Hue*
Mauve or Alizarin Crimson
Cerulean Blue
French Ultramarine
Phthalo Blue
Sap Green
Yellow Ochre
Burnt Sienna

Paynes Grey
*Pure Cadmium pigments are rather toxic, so Amy prefers using the hues where possible.
If you are just starting out I recommend purchasing this set of oil paints from Cass Art as it has warm and cool versions of each primary colour.
Mediums and solvents
Low odour white spirit (or Zest It or Gamsol. Please not Turpentine as the fumes are really bad!)
Liquin (if you don't have Alkyd Titanium White)
Brushes and Palette Knives
Palette knife for mixing colours. If purchasing a new palette knife I prefer large tapered knives.
2 large house brushes (from a DIY store is fine)
1 or two firm bristle fan brushes for oil painting
A selection of firm bristle for oil painting. For example; 2 small brushes for fine detail, 2 medium round brushes and 2 medium flat brushes
