Materials List
Please
bring your own brushes, palette knives and paints. They can
be left safely overnight in the studio to save carrying
them back & forth each day. Below is a suggested
materials list, though it’s very much personal
preference, so the list is more of a guide than
anything.
Paints
A basic range of colours is all that's needed to get started.
Daler-Rowney Georgian is a good brand and from personal experience I would
recommend their range of paints. Try to avoid cheap brands of oil paint as
these are difficult to paint with and their colours lack vibrancy.

 Suggestion: Daler-Rowney have a Georgian Starter 6 Pack Set of 22ml paints. This
is
available from all good art suppliers. Although you would still need to
purchase Sap Green and Yellow Green this is a good place to start. This is
currently available at a special price from
Cork Art Supplies.
Brushes/Knives
 Very
much a personal preference. I use the palette
knife a lot and I suggest one large (size 41) and one
small (size 35)diamond-shaped palette knife. I
prefer to use water colour brushes, rather than the stiff
bristle oil brushes. I find that a couple of ½ inch flat
brushes are useful and a small and a large
round head brush. Also a very fine "zero" size
brush with long bristles is handy. You can view
examples of these products at
Cork Art Supplies - Palette Knives. Also a good
supply of all art products are available from
Art
& Craft which is based in Shannon and Ennis.
Delivery service available.
Other
Soft pencil such as 4B and a flat palette
