Walnut oil or poppyseed oil, to help the paint flow. If desired, you may mix the oil with a little
Gamsol, the only mineral spirits allowed in the school.
Brush Cleaners: We won’t be doing a thorough cleaning of brushes in the classroom, but I will give you
tips on how to clean them at home. To keep brushes clean as we paint you may bring
Gamsol or a container of premoistened wipes, like painters wipes or baby wipes.
Containers: A small palette cup for the oil or oil/Gamsol mixture. A medium sized metal cup or dish for
Gamsol to keep brushes clean as you paint.
Miscellaneous: Boxes or carriers for your wet paintings and your palette full of oil paint, vinyl gloves if you
like, a supply of used plastic grocery bags for carrying out your garbage and dirty brushes.
Hand Cleaner: A jar of GOJO crème hand cleaner, available and inexpensive at most hardware stores, will
clean oil paint off your skin, clothes, car upholstery, without drying your skin.
Most Important: Don’t forget to bring an open mind and a fun-loving, exploratory attitude. Call or email me
