Here's my french easel set-up for painting: a few big brushes, a few rounds, maybe a filbert, a small brayer.
My colors:
cad yellow light
lemon yellow
cad yellow medium
yellow ochre
raw sienna
burnt sienna
grumbacher red (napthol red)
alizarin crimson
pthalo green
winsor blue (pthalo blue)
cobalt blue
ultramarine blue
grumbacher pre-test white, original formula (titanium white)
medium: 1 part stand oil, 1 part damar, 1 part turp
thinner for cleaning brushes
for beginners I recommend 3 colors: cad yellow medium, grumbacher red, cobalt blue and white, a small jar of oil painting medium and some gessoed boards, a few brushes (boar bristle is fine)
a portable easel
if you try painting and want to continue, you will want to invest in more colors, brushes, medium and an easel for outdoor painting.
best,
deb.
