Marilyn Eger: Oil Painting Materials List

For the oil portrait class, I will provide a canvas board that I have toned with a mid-tone flesh color. I will also provide a piece of tracing paper to transfer your picture to the canvas panel. I am hoping that students will have their drawing on the toned canvas panel when the class starts. If you are an intermediate student and draw well you can disregard the tracing paper and draw your image on the canvas panel with burnt siena paint thinned with liquid. Corrections are easy with a rag & some turpenoid. The canvas panel and tracing paper will be at the Lodi Community Art Center starting Friday March 29th at noon. 

​For the Floral and landscape classes bring a canvas, size of your liking, toned with a warm color. In the floral class you may work from direct observation or a floral photo. I will have some to choose from if you do not have any and do not want to paint the floral provided.
