Here are some materials I use. If you want to support me, consider purchasing them via these links.
The paints I use are ’Old Holland’ from Dutch factory ’Scheveningen’. These have a very high pigment load and are very thick. This way you can add your medium of choice, without thinning the paint too much. I usually get 225ml tubes which saves about 30%. The tubes last a long time, on average I use about 1 225ml tube a year for each color. The set I use, in the actual order I have them on my palette:
Titanium white: 40ml: 225ml:
Scheveningen yellow lemon: 40ml: 225ml:
Cadmium yellow deep: 40ml: 225ml:
Scheveningen orange: 40ml: 225ml:
Scheveningen red medium: 40ml: 225ml:
Alizarin crimson: 40ml: 225ml:
Dioxazine mauve: 40ml: 225ml:
Ultramarine blue deep: 40ml: 225ml:
Transparent oxide red: 40ml: 225ml:
Scheveningen green deep: 40ml: 225ml:
Sap green lake extra: 40ml: 225ml:
Ivory black 40ml: 225ml:
Occasionally I use a small amount of this very saturated blue/green, but I don’t keep it on my palette: Scheveningen blue: 40ml: 225ml:
My standard medium that I’ve been using lately, consists of equal parts venetian turpentine and linseed oil:
Talens venetian turpentine
W&N Stand oil
W&N Linseed oil
Some brushes I use: cheap hog bristles for initial lay in, similar to these: , long script liner brushes for details, eg. these Da Vinci ones: (size 10 or so). Other favorite brushes of mine are Rosemarys bristles, and Talens Van Gogh round ox hair brushes.
