Inexpensive craft paints in shades of blue, green, and white (use what you have)
white gesso, any brand (use what you have – even white house paint)
inexpensive tubes of acrylic paint (such as Hobby Lobby’s “Master’s Touch”)
My palette for “Nothing Gold Can Stay” :
dark titanium white, titan buff, zinc white (can substitute transparent mixing white), raw sienna, chrome oxide green, turquoise green, nickel azo gold, paynes gray, transparent brown oxide Also pan pastel in any shade green (optional), and R&F oil bar in any shade green. You can substitute any kind of oil paint in your favorite green, or leave out oil paint entirely. This art is so flexible. Use what you have.
**all these are completely optional, and are for the painting “Nothing Gold Can Stay”, to paint alongside me. Use what you have to either paint alongside me, or to interpret a poem/poet of your own choice with the colors you love! Just paint as big as you can, think it through and break your concept into a visual abstract painting, use MDF, and experiment with layering oils over your acrylics at the very end!
My palette for “Isaiah 60” :
Master’s Touch (Hobby Lobby) turquoise green, Master’s Touch brown red, Master’s Touch iridescent graphite, Master’s Touch metallic gold, some silver goauche and gold goauche, Stabilo pencil, willow stick (or charcoal pencil), Sharpie fine point pen in black, pencil of any sort, black ink pen of any sort. **all these are completely optional, and only to do the painting “Isaiah 60” alongside me.
Use what you have to either paint alongside me, or to interpret a portion of Scripture (for the Lectio Divina portion of this course) or another poem of your own choice, with nature/water/mountains/trees as its subject, with the colors you love! Just paint it into a tray with sealed sides/edges (round or square) and be ready to do the resin pour-over together.
