Recommended materials
• Oil paints – Titanium white, cadmium red medium, cadmium yellow medium, raw sienna, burnt umber, French ultramarine blue
• Two or three different shape and size painting knives is useful, although Fiona often finds herself just using a favourite one! For painting it is advisable to use the type with a cranked handle to keep your hand away from the painting surface. A palette knife (with a straight blade) is useful for cleaning your palette. Fiona recommends metal painting knives rather than plastic.

• Paper towels or cotton rags – plenty!
• Support – stretched canvas 40 x 40 cms (16 x 16 ins)
• Easel
• Coloured pencil and / or charcoal for putting a few guide marks on your canvas.
