Painting Supply List

Linen panels (11x14 or 12x16) - I work on Centurion LX Acrylic Primed Linen Panels, find them and almost all the supplies at

Painting Palette - The bigger the better. Plex or tempered glass with a painted gray back work great. Disposable palette sheets will also work


-  Very important items to start painting


Safflower Oil for painting medium

.  I use Safflower oil as my painting medium and it works great and isn’t toxic or smell Many paint companies use it instead on Linseed oil in their paints

I buy Safflower oil in bottles by Utrecht or Gamblin

 

Baby oil - brush cleaner

Baby oil to clean my brushes and only to clean brushes.

 

Roll of paper towels and plastic grocery bags for trash

 

3 - small plastic or glass containers -  Cottage Cheese type with top to store leftover paint and 2 smaller ones for holding painting medium and cleaner (about 2 - 3” in size).
