Man fishing in North Carolina, Instructions and Supply.

Man fishing in North CarolinaThis is a small painting designed for the painting classes, inspired by the old south. I imagined this man fishing in the shallow waters of a river in this beautiful land.

Note: The studio is coming along fine. Lots of work! We will be ready to start our classes on February 2016.

Instructions:

  1. Start by drawing the man and the background.
  2. In this painting I did the under-paint with acrylics because they dry faster. When under-painting I am also finishing the drawing defining the light and the shade. The light with white and the shade with a mixture of gold and black.
  3. Enjoy doing your final painting. In this case I use oils because I love their bright colors and blending.

Supply:

This painting can be done in 2 medias, Oil Paintings or Acrylics.

Acrylics:
There are many brands of acrylic paintings that I have tested but the one that I like the most is:
SOHO, Urban Artistic Acrylic: Excellent paintings, sold at more reasonable price by Jerry’s Arterama. 3060 Wake Forest Road, Raleigh, NC 27609. (919) 876-6610

Oil Paintings:
You can buy them at Michael’s, ACMoore, but again the most affordable ones are at Jerry’s Arterama and their brand is LUKAS.

Canvas: 9″x12″

Colors, acrylics or oils:

  1. Titanium White
  2. Flesh or Portrait Pink
  3. Cadmium Yellow Light
  4. Alizarin Crimson
  5. Sap Green
  6. Yellow Ochre
  7. Alizarin Crimson
  8. Burnt Sienna
  9. Raw Sienna
  10. Raw Umber
  11. Ivory Black

Under-paint: white, gold and black acrylic.

Brushes: multi-purpose, polyvalent. There is a 10pc “Artist’s Loft” that provides most of the brushes for the beginning or the Pro Stroke-Power Creative Mark of Jerry’s Arterama. For blending, the best brushes are Ebony Splendor, Bright Creative Mark.
For Oil paintings, the best media is Refined Linseed Oil with Refined Turpentine. To clean the brushes Turpernoi. Glass container to mix media.
Easel (a simple table metal easel is fine).
Paper towel.
Plastic plate to mix colors or a Paper Palette. SOHO has a very reasonable paper palette at Jerry’s Arterama.
