• Portable FLOOR painting easel
• Wooden (or other neutral-toned) mixing palette (Do not use white, disposable palette pages.

Oil Paints:

Because this class is directed to painters with a little more experience, use the paints (brand and colors) with which you are most comfortable instead of trying to change to Lori's palette.

 Brushes:

• Bring a hald dozen high quality (mostly bristle) brushes ranging in size from 4-8. 
I suggest filberts, flats or a mixture of the two. Do NOT bring tiny brushes.

My preference is Silver Brush brand, series 1003 (filbert), 1001 (flat).

• Several styles of palette knives

Supports:

• For Day 2: Bring 2-4 DRY mostly completed paintings, UNFRAMED

• Small sketch pad and pencil

• Odorless mineral spirits and sealable container

• Paper towels

Lori's Palette:
Lori paints with a very limited palette (4 colors), for those of you who are curious about which paints and brand she uses, the list is below:

•Cad Red Deep Hue (Winton #6)
• Ultramarine Blue (Winton #21)
• Cad Yellow Medium (Gamblin)
• Titanium White (Gamblin, Grumbacher, or other)
