My materials list has evolved and I feel like now is a good time to document it. This post is more for my own documentation, but I also always love sharing knowledge. I'll go through my materials, color palette and medium one by one.
As a side note: my own color palette is based on Bouguereau's palette, but with my own additions which I feel are necessary. Also, never blindly follow someone else's technique or materials without thinking deeply about it yourself. Basic Materials: -White boar's hair bristle brushes (rounds and flats) -Small synthetic watercolor brushes (for detail work and signature) -Brush cleaner jar filled with Gamsol OMS (for brush cleaning) -Wooden palette -Wooden paint box -Wooden easel Oil,medium, varnishes: -Refined linseed oil (for oiling out) -Main medium: 1 oz. Dammar Varnish 1 oz. Stand Oil 5 oz. Gamsol 15-20 drops cobalt drier -Winsor & Newton High Gloss Varnish (for final varnish, 1 layer) -Gamsol + Masters brush cleaner for cleaning brushes Color Palette: -Silver White -Flake White -Naples Yellow -Chrome Yellow Bright -Chrome Yellow Deep -Yellow Ochre -Vermillion -French Vermillion -Chinese Vermillion -Alizarin Crimson -Brown Red (or Venetian Red) -Burnt Sienna -Emerald Green - Viridian -Cobalt Blue -Ultramarine Blue -Burnt Umber -Van Dyke Brown -Ivory Black *My palette is in this order mainly because I'm colorblind so I arrange it in order of color value.
