This course is an introduction to the palettes, color theory, and color mixing approaches by the French and California impressionists. Course content includes a brief lecture, instructor demonstration, and each artist will create their own impressionist-inspired piece from still life and reproductions of masterworks.
Materials: Recommended oil or acrylic colors (Gamblin and Rembrandt paints): Limited palette: Alizarin Crimson Permanent, Cadmium Yellow Medium, Ultramarine Blue, Titanium White. This palette saves money but limits 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: Stack of inexpensive materials for quick studies and exercises, such as a five-pack of Blick canvas boards, size 8” x 10” or 11” x 14”, an Arches oil paper pad, or a canvas pad. Two larger canvas boards or stretched canvases 11” x 14” to 16” x 20” for longer projects.
