Workshop Supplies List

PORTABLE EASEL

Wind River Arts- http://www.windriverarts.com – 972-342-4947

One that is equipped to withstand a variety of weather. I use three

styles: the standard Jullian suffices, but I also use the EasyL and the

Open Box M Pochade boxes because they have proven to be well suited

to my outdoor painting needs. They are compact, portable, durable, can

store wet paintings and are of the finest quality. I most often use my

10"x12" size when I travel simply because smaller is easier for me.

However, I use the 12" X 16" when closer to home..

COLORS

Vasari Classic Artists’ Oil Colors - http://www.shopvasaricolors.com - 1-800-932-9375

These paints are pure pigment without any extenders or artificial pigments.

Titanium White | Ultramarine Blue | Permanent Bright Red | Cadmium Yellow Lemon

Grey’s Ship Rock - (a warm grey light)

Bluff - (the light sample that was a little pinkish)

Adobe - (the sandy yellow-orange warm grey)

Shale - (the dark, slightly violet grey)

Jasper - (dark, warm greenish brownish gray)

Silver Point - (medium value, cold silvery gray)

Cedar - (warm, grayish olive green)

Bice - (lighter, cool grayish blue)

Note: Vasari has mixed a series of color for Scott that he had been mixing himself. Working with

Vasari allows Scott to have high quality paint without the time commitment required to mix his own

colors. Please contact Vasari directly to purchase these paints.

You certainly may bring your own, existing paint colors/brands.  Many students ask about "Scott's greys" and Vasari is his paint of choice.

BRUSHES

Any high-quality brush will do. Brights and Flats bristle, sizes 2-8 for smaller work, larger sizes as suits your needs. Please don't bring worn-out brushes!

PALETTE

Use the wooden one provided in your portable easel. Treat it with linseed oil many times over: rub in,

let stand, rub in, let stand, etc. Your wooden palette is designed to transport and keep wet paint,

cleans easily, and doesn't flap in the wind. Please, no paper palettes.

CANVAS BOARDS

(15 -20) 6"x8"; we will be working on many small starts

Additional: Nothing larger than 16"x20", please (unless you are a very experienced painter).

OTHER ITEMS:

VIVA paper towels, plastic grocery bags, 1-2 squeeze clamps for securing various items

to your easel.  We supply the turpentine.

For You Hat, water bottle (please stay hydrated in order to avoid high altitude sickness), sunscreen, bug repellent
