An introduction to the palette, color theory, and color mixing approaches by the postimpressionist master Vincent Van Gogh.
Course content includes a brief lecture and instructor demonstration, and each artist will create their own Van Gogh–inspired piece from still life and reproductions of masterworks.
Materials:
Recommended oil or acrylic colors. I like Gamblin and Rembrandt paints.
Limited palette: Alizarin Crimson Permanent, Cadmium Yellow Medium, Ultramarine Blue, Titanium White. This is the way to go if you’d like to save money on paint, but it will limit your options in advanced painting techniques.
Basic palette: Cadmium Yellow Medium (or Hue), Cadmium Yellow Deep (or Hue), Cadmium Red Medium (or Hue), Alizarin Crimson Permanent, Ultramarine Blue, Cerulean Blue Hue, Titanium White, Burnt Umber, or preferred alternatives.
Recommended but optional palette: Ivory Black, Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ochre.
Brushes: a range of brushes from #2 on up. I prefer hog bristle flats and filberts.
Other: cup or jar for solvent; paper towels; palette or paper palette pad; Gamsol or Turpenoid; linseed oil or Gamblin Solvent-free Gel; sketchbook; pencil; vine charcoal; palette knife; gloves; travel easel or pochade box; hat and sunscreen.
Supports: Any canvas board or store-bought stretched canvases or canvas pad will do. Recommended size: 11 x 14" or larger. Please bring several supports.
