Palette Knife Painting in Oil or Acrylic — Materials List 2024
Diane DuBois Mullaly
Paint – Bring whatever colors you have. Be sure to have a yellow, a red, Ultramarine Blue and white.
Medium – None needed for oil. Acrylic painters might consider a retarder to slow drying.
Painting Knives — (aka palette knives) Trowel shaped, Creative Mark brand # 25, 30, 44 or what you have.
Brushes – Soft/sable bristle round, similar to BLICK Master Synthetic round, size 6. And one large flat or filbert to quickly apply paint to tone panel.
Wipe-Out Tool – It has a rubber squeegee tip. An essential tool.
Palette – Whatever you have. Paper is fine. To cover and transport palette with paint on it: Masterson Palette Seal – blue lid for oil, yellow lid (with sponge inside) for acrylic.
Charcoal Sticks or Pastel Pencil – To sketch on your board before painting.
Panels – 4 to 6 inexpensive panels – canvas or gessoboard. Size 6×8 or 8×10.
Sketchbook – I like Strathmore 400 series Sketch , 100 pages, spiral boumd on side, 5.5 x 8.5
Permanent Ink Pen like Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen, Fine, or a Micron Pen, 01.
Plein Air Easel – Bring whatever you normally use. I recently switched from a Soltek easel to a Coulter easel (compact size) which I love. https://www.artboxandpanel.com/
How to carry wet paintings — Empty pizza box or Guerilla Painter Handy Porter.
Brush Washer or Tank with tight cover. Glass jar with a lid that seals tight, the size of a spaghetti sauce or mayo jar. Or a Silicoil has a coil in the bottom on which to wipe bristles.
Solvent – For oil painters: ODORLESS Turpenoid or Gamsol. Do not bring any solvent with an odor!
Spray bottle – Acrylic painters, to keep your paint from drying too fast.
Paper Towels — Viva brand.
Hat with Broad Brim (essential), Insect Repellant, Sunscreen, Notebook, Pen, Bag Lunch and Beverage.
Also Bring… an open mind, your creative spirit, and your sense of wonder. There is no pressure! Be ready to relax, get in touch with the painter inside you, think good thoughts, and have a lot of fun!
