Professor Healy--Supply List for AR 261/262/263

apron or old shirt to protect clothes
container such as a shoe box, bag or bin for supplies
A glass container or two to store your turpenoid.  It needs to have a lid and be labeled with your name.
4B (soft) pencil; eraser (optional)
Paint:  Oil is preferable; for acrylics, see me.
37 ml tubes of :    
Cadmium Red Medium
Cadmium Orange or Cadmium Orange Hue
Cadmium Yellow
Alizarin Crimson
Ultramarine Blue
Permanent Green Light
Viridian Green Hue
Burnt Umber
Yellow Ochre or Raw Sienna
Burnt Sienna
Ivory Black
150 ml tube:
Titanium White
Extra Colors:   Dioxazine Purple, Cobalt Blue, Pthalo Blue, Raw Umber, Terre Verte Green,. Any other colors that attract you are also fine.  
Solvent:  Quart of Turpenoid or Turpenoil.  No turpentine or other solvents.
Cleaner: Master’s Brush Cleaner--works with water
Brushes: I prefer non-stiff, sable-type bright brushes. Get different sizes and kinds.
Better to buy medium to expensive brushes--cheap ones will not perform well or last very long.
Palette:  Disposable 12 x 16” tear-off palettes are easiest to use in class.
Palette Knife:  One or more bent palette knives would be useful
Support:  Stretched canvases are best (12 x 16”, 14 x 18”, 16 x 20”, 20 x 22” are good sizes.)  Canvas boards are okay, but not as permanent.  You’ll need at least 6 supports. A medium sized canvaspad that rips off is another good option, for some of the paintings, but not all.                                               Rags:  LOTS OF THEM.*  Cotton works best. Paper towels are nice as an extra, too. 
Other Optional Items: Folding TABLE EASEL. Super handy. Linseed oil/Stand Oil/Damar Varnish. Foods/Non-alcoholic drinks for all to share!
I am serious as to the importance of rags!

Apparently, our bookstore is now selling canvases. I don’t know if they are
