Supplies:
Oil Paints: Charvin Extra Fine Oils: http://www.jerrysartarama.com/charvin-extra-fine-oil-paints
I used the Pleain Air Set of 14 Item # 84328 and added napthol red and alizarin crimson because the red that came in that set was a bit milky. Sets can be found here: http://www.jerrysartarama.com/charvin-extra-fine-oil-painting-sets
*You can use a coupon on the set I am using too:)

11"x14" AlumaComp painting panel: http://www.jerrysartarama.com/alumacomp-archival-aluminum-painting-and-mounting-panels

*Note: For the practise piece I did not prime my panel but I did prime the panel for the live lesson as I felt it could use a bit more grab if painting alla prima (all in one go) if you are letting layers dry between painting there is no need to prime it.

A note about the Charvin Extra Fine Oils...

These are a very high-end paint and a bit more spendy than I usually use. They are made in small batches and triple milled for a smooth buttery consistency and the color load is robust meaning you get lots of color in a small amount of paint.  The paint is made with poppy oil rather than linseed oil (they say to reduce yellowing but the kit I got has a bottle of linseed oil in it which seemed odd but I did not need it on the silky smooth surface of the AlumaComp board) and it uses high-grade pigments with a range of 205 colors. The tubes have hand-painted swatches of the color at full strength which can be deceiving as the rose in my set looked black straight from the tube but turned into a lovely mauve as white was added. I can see how it would be a useful deep shadow color in floral paintings. I wasn't familiar with some of the colors in the landscape set I received from sponsor Jerry's Artarama but I found them to mix well and perform as expected for an artist grade oil paint. I think they are a bit pricey for beginners but someone who has experience with oils will enjoy and appreciate the subtle differences in quality in these paints. *Charvin also makes an extra fine acrylics line as well.
