Materials list for introduction to classical oil painting:

The best art supply store on the island is an art store by the name of Hawaiian Graphics.

Paint brushes. Assorted sizes, "filbert" brush shape ("signet" is the brand of brush I use). I usually use four brush sizes for the size painting we will be doing in class. A very very small “round” brush for tiny details. Then 3 brushes of a “filbert” shape that are: 1/8 inch, 1/4 inch, and 3/8 inch in width. Unfortunately the numbering system that art supply companies use are not uniform across brands, so telling you to buy a number 2 brush doesn’t really work, as a “number 2 brush” is a different size in different brands.
Terpenoid

Sealable gar for storing brush cleaner or medium
Refined linseed oil
Pallet (the bigger the pallet the better. Wood pallets are best, followed by glass, then plastic, then paper. Try to avoid white pallets). ZAFA sells wooden pallets. If you are interested in ZAFA brand pallets, contact William at (808) 938-3861
Pallet knife (each artist has their own preference of pallet knife shape. Personally, I prefer the long, rectangular pallet knives)

Canvas panels. You will need 7 canvas panels for the class. Canvas panels should be 8x10” in size. A canvas panel is a piece of stiff cardboard with canvas attached.
