Welcome to my studio. This week I'll go over brushes, paint, paint grounds, lighting, glazing and scumbling. A lot of information on fundamental studio materials and techniques.

Paint: I use Gamblin but really any artist grade paint is fine. Artist grade means you have several series, each more expensive than the last. If all the paint colors are say $8 you have studio grade paint.

The colors on my palette:
Titanium White
Cadmium Yellow Lemon
Cadmium Yellow Medium
Yellow Ochre
Cadmium Orange
Cadmium Red Light
Alizarin Permanent
Dioxazine Purple
Ultramarine Blue
Chrome Oxide Green
Phthalo Green

Brushes: All my brushes are hogshair filberts
Manufacturers worth looking at. Trekell, 400KF, Signet Robert Simmons, Grand Prix Silver 1003, IsabeySpecial 6088, Escoda Clasico, Rosemary and Co.
