  • COLORS , PRIMARY COLORS: REDS< BLUES < YELLOWS Also: Cadmiums in Oranges or Yellows, Browns, Whites and Neutral Green, We'll mix many colors from these,
  • Any other colors you have ,bring them along to class! There are so many extra variation of colors on the market, but you do not need to purchase them all as we'll be mixing from the Primary Colors
  • HERE'S A BASIC LIST FOR YOU FOR SUGGESTIONS:
  • Alizarin Crimson Red, * Rose *Ultramarine blue (warm blue )• Cobalt blue(good base blue) • LemonYellow • Cadmium Orange or Cad Yellows * Green *Burnt Sienna or Raw Umber brown • Yellow Ochre• * Payne's Gray , White
  • I like using the basic Primary colors and then mix Secondary colors, and Tertiary hues and we'll learn to develop cool and warm colors from these creating a chart for reference for future paintings.
