Creative Magic Materials List:
~ Acrylic Paint: I will be demonstrating with Liquitex Basics Acrylic, however ANY brand of acrylic paint is perfectly fine. I love Liquitex Basics because it is inexpensive, safe to get on your hands, and I can give myself permission to use a LOT of paint if I wish to :)
Colour suggestions: Titanium White, Unbleached Titanium, Silver, Gold, Alizarin Crimson Hue, Primary Red, Primary Yellow, Bright Aqua Green, Hooker's Green Hue Permanent, Ultramarine Blue, Cobalt Blue, Light Blue Permanent, Violet, Dioxazine Purple, Burnt Umber, Raw Sienna, Mars Black and any other colours that call to you.
~ Gold Leaf & Metal Leaf Adhesive Size. Gold leaf comes in a package of sheets, look for the loose leaf sheets rather than attached to a backing to allow for more freedom. You can choose gold, silver or bronze leaf, whatever metallic leaf speaks to you! Gold Leaf Amazon - Adhesive Size Amazon
~ Modeling Paste Gel Medium (Liquitex or other brand) 237ml. Modeling Paste Amazon
~ A large canvas for your masterpiece (30x30 or 24x30inches) ***You will not need this canvas until the beginning of week 3 (Jan 17th) we will discuss the size options/recommendations in our opening ceremony if you wish to wait to purchase your canvas.
~Dream Journal to use for the course and a pen
~Pallet knife and Paint Brushes: a 3inch pallet knife (preferably metal rather than plastic) and soft synthetic paintbrushes in a range of sizes for small details and large under painting. Student grade synthetic brushes are great and inexpensive! You can get these at most Dollar stores and bulk packages at Michales art supplies. I recommend getting soft to touch synthetic brushes over natural hair or bristle. Make sure you have at least one large paintbrush that is 1.5-2 inches wide (filbert style). A teeny tiny brush for intricate details, and 2-3 sizes in between. Pallet Knife set Amazon
~Large size pad/sketchbook of canvas paper for your acrylic portrait skin tone practices. You can also buy bulk packages of canvas from Michaels to practice on, I recommend getting at least one medium sized (16x20inch) stretched “practice” canvas for acrylic pouring practice (week 4).
~Painting Pallet (Linzy’s favourite lifetime use pallet Amazon)
~tracing paper and transfer paper, ruler
