Supply List for workshops

Neal Hughes Supply List 1/9/25

Below is a basic supply list that you will need.  I try different colors and other supplies often so this list will change often.

Painting surface:
I mostly use oil or acrylic primed linen. Larger sizes are stretched canvas and smaller sizes are usually Centurion linen panels or linen mounted on gator board that I make. Other types of canvas board, wood panels or stretched canvas are fine.

Brushes:
Bristle long flats – These are the standard oil brushes with white bristles. Rosemary and Co. and Davinci Maestro are two brands I use. Other brands will work too. Various sizes.

Princeton Aspen synthetic flats – various sizes.

Rosemary and Co. Eclipse extra long combers – various sizes

Rosemary 279 masters choice brushes – they are no longer available with mongoose hair so I am substituting the Eclipse combers or using the older ones I have.

Richeson Grey Matters rounds size 2

Paints – Basic oil colors that I am currently using:

titanium white, cadmium yellow light or a lemon yellow, cadmium yellow, indian yellow, naples yellow, yellow ochre, cad. red (or permanent red), alizarin crimson, ultramarine blue and thalo turquoise, terre verte, olive green and raw umber.

Paint brands I use include Charvin, Rembrandt, Winsor Newton, Gamblin and others. Any quality oil paint will work.

palette – I have a painting box with a glass palette.

paint thinner – I use Gamsol by Gamblin.

paper towels

cup for thinner

easel – Portable easel. I am using a Gloucester style (Take It easel).  Other types such as a tripod mounted or French easel are fine too.

medium – Liquin impasto and liquin impasto light is what I am currently using. I also use Gamblin Galkyd Gel and Galkyd Light at times.
