  • Paper towels

    Substrates:

  • 3 Canvases, 14 x 18 to 16 x 20, toned and dry before class

    Oil-primed fine linen (Art Store can special order these) is better than acrylic primed canvas (acceptable); smoother weave is better than coarser weave so a fine linen is acceptable with an acrylic ground or portrait-grade (smooth) cotton canvas with an acrylic ground.

    Two canvases, use wash of OMS and either Ivory black or raw umber.

    For the third canvas, paint a layer of Gamblin’s Portland Gray Medium
    so that it is OPAQUE AND DRY before class.
