COLORS: 

-Alizaron Crimson

-Cadmium Red Light

-Cadmium Yellow

-Cerulean Blue

-Ultramarine Blue

MEDIUM: You will need a medium to add fluidity and body to your oil paint, as well as help the drying rate of the paint.  I would suggest Liquin original and or Liquin Impasto by Windsor and Newton.

PALETTE

-It is best to have either a wooden palette that you can hold, or you can make one by putting a gray piece of paper on a piece of cardboard and duck taping glass over it.  The glass palette is easy to clean.

CANVASES OR MASONITE THAT HAS GESSO OR SOME TYPE OF ACRYLIC GROUND ON IT.
