Material List

Materials List for Oil Painting Reproduction:

The canvas has been coated with gesso, rotated horizontally and vertically, and sanded smoothly between each coat. As a result, I painted the canvas two times to keep a semi-rough working surface supporting this impressionist-style reproduction.

Tools:

• Proportional Divider
• Color Checker
• Glass Palette
• Palette Knife
• Ruler
• Red or Black Pastel pencil for gridlines

Canvas For Reproduction:

18″ W X 24″ H prepared canvas

Oil Paints:

All reproductions use a minimal pallet of six colors:

• Cadmium Yellow
• French Ultramarine
• Burnt Umber
• Titanium White
• Vermillion Hue
• Ivory Black

Glazing Mixture:

• Pure Refined Linseed Oil for mixing and thinning
• Windsor Newton Glazing and Blending Medium for glazing and thinning for details

Sketching With Paint:

Gamblin Gamsol is a solvent artists use to clean their brushes and thin down brown paint for the initial sketch on canvas. Remember not to use Gamsol or any other cleaning solvent for anything other than sketching. For example, George Werbacher uses brown paint thinned with Gamsol when needed for the initial oil painting sketch. In addition, George uses linseed oil only when prepping oil paints for use in all his reproductions and originals.
