Prior to the start of the program you will be emailed information on the virtual program links and any specific information relating to your program. Prior to the start of the program, participants must purchase the following items.
Basic Colour Set (ACRYLIC BRANDS: Liquitex Heavy Body, Golden, Stevenson’s and Atelier Interactive are all good brands. Beside each main colour, I have put its "pigment" number. Always check that the colour you are buying matches the pigment number, as some manufacturers substitute other pigments. Do not buy “student grade” paints. (except for Grey for palettes)
- Hansa Yellow Medium PY73 (Yellow Medium Azo, Azo Yellow Deep, Yellow Orange Azo) WARM
- Napthol Red Light PR9 [PR112] (Pyrole Red or Cadmium Red Light) WARM
- Quinacridone Magenta PR122 COOL
- Indanthrene Blue PB60 (Ultramarine Blue, red shade) WARM
- Phthalo Blue green shade PB15 [PB15.4] (Phthalo Blue red shade) COOL
- Burnt Umber PBr7 WARM
- Phthalo Green yellow shade PG36 COOL
- Titanium White (large tube)
If you skip any of these, it will be much harder for you to achieve good colour mixes. (The paints in brackets are alternative paints, almost as good as our recommended paints.) Some manufacturers call the paints by different names.
