Solvent: Quart of Turpenoid or Turpenoil. No turpentine or other solvents.
Brushes: Get no less than 4 brushes--long handles. Get different sizes and kinds.
Better to buy medium to expensive brushes--cheap ones will not perform well or last very long.

Palette Knife: One or more bent palette knives would be useful
Support: Stretched canvases are best (12 x 16”, 16 x 20”, 20 x 22” are good sizes.) Canvas boards are okay, but not as permanent. You’ll need about 5 canvases.
Rags: LOTS OF THEM. Paper towels are nice, too. Lots of them, as well.
Optional Extras: Linseed oil/Stand Oil/Damar Varnish
CDs you would like the class to share
Foods/Non-alcoholic drinks for all to share

Painting Syllabus
Painting—AR261/262/263—Fall 2011
Professor Julia Healy
http://paintingatqcc.blogspot.com
Introduction: This course will explores painting at the beginning, intermediate and advanced levels. Students will be divided into groups and will work on assignments or continue pursuing their individual directions. Some basic instruction on learning "to see" will be given to beginners, as necessary. If you are an intermediate or advanced student, you should bring in examples of previous work, as well as ideas you wish to work on. It is always best to work from real life, but you may work from your own photographs. Do not work from reproductions, calendars or magazine illustrations if at all possible.
Attendance and Lateness: Attendance is mandatory. There is no substitute for working and participating in class. Three absences are grounds for a failing grade.
Please be on time. Class begins promptly at 6 p.m. Two tardies will be counted as one absence. If you will have an ongoing scheduling conflict, please discuss it with me at the beginning of the semester.
Grading: Individual grades will be given for each painting and averaged to make up 90% of your grade. Class participation will count for another 10%.
Supplies: Materials and supplies for this class are expensive, but there is no overpriced textbook to buy! We will discuss how to approach buying the materials the first class. You must come prepared to work every week, with all the materials you need. Do not expect other students to lend you paint, brushes and canvases!!!
