Suggested Oil Painting Materials
OIL PAINTS
You can paint perfectly well with a small number of colours – even four primaries (in bold) and white. So you don’t need all these colours, but because people ask, I list below the full range I use. Winton brand are fine for most colours, whereas Cadmium colours (Yellows, Reds and Oranges) are much stronger in artist’s quality if you can afford them.
-
- Titanium White – Large tube(200ml)
-
Chromatic Colours
- Cadmium Yellow Light, Lemon Yellow or Winsor Yellow
- Cadmium Yellow
- Cadmium Orange
- Cadmium Red or Cadmium Scarlet
- Permanent Rose or Permanent Alizarin Crimson
- Magenta or Quinacridone Purple
- Phthalo Blue
- Ultramarine Blue
- Viridian Hue
- Permanent Green Light
Earth Colours
- Yellow Ochre
- Indian Red or Mars Violet Deep
- Burnt Sienna or Transparent Oxide Red (Michael Harding)
- Raw Umber or Van Dyck Brown
- Ivory Black
SUITABLE SUPPORTS
Hardboard primed with Acrylic Primer (Gesso). I use white – faced hardboard primed twice on the brown side.

NOTE: Many cheaper canvases and canvas boards are very absorbent and would benefit from an additional coat of gesso.
