In this 3-day mini-session, geared to intermediate to advanced students, we will first focus on learning to use value studies to achieve compelling compositions and will then explore approaches to color choice to help assure both harmony and impact of your paintings. The course will include didactic presentation, demonstrations, and individual exploration and painting.
Heather McCullough Supply List for Fall 2025 Mini-Session
“Composition and Color in Landscape Paintings”:
Cheap art supplies are not a bargain in the end. Purchase good-best quality and they will last longer and perform better. You can purchase from:
Michael’s
Hobby Lobby
Art and Frame (Sarasota)
Or by catalog or internet: Art Supplies | BLICK Art Materials, www.jerrysartarama.com and others
• 1 Palette (must have wells for each paint color, a large mixing area and a lid)
Two examples that are great: John Pike Palette or a Tom Lynch Palette.
• Paint (professional brands like” Grumbacher, Winsor & Newton, Daniel Smith)
(For newbies: Grumbacher Academy or Winsor & Newton Cotman are brands of student-grade paint that come in smaller tubes and are less expensive and still acceptable.)
You will need the following colors:
o Cadmium yellow light or aureolin
o Cadmium red medium
o Alizarin crimson or permanent rose
o Phthalo green (also sold by Winsor Newton as Winsor Green)
o Phthalo blue (also sold by Winsor Newton as Winsor Blue)
o Ultramarine blue
In addition to the color work, I will also be using the following colors. You don’t have to purchase these, but you may get more out of the lessons if you have these to work with.
• Magenta
• Ultramarine Violet
• Cadmium Orange
• Cadmium Red-Orange
• Cobalt Turquoise
• Permanent Green Light
• Brushes-bring what you own
