OIL MEDIUM

Gary Adams Studio Oil Paint Mediums (see above)

Gamblin Gamsol

Description:
Gamsol is an excellent solvent for thinning Gamblin mediums and for general
painting. It evaporates 100% and leaves no residue in paint layers. Gamsol is less
toxic than other brands of OMS (Odorless Mineral Spirits), mineral spirits, or
turpentine because the harmful aromatic solvent component has been removed.
It's also useful for studio and brush cleanup

Gamblin Gamvar Varnish (Gloss)

Description:
Developed in collaboration with the National Gallery of Art, Gamblin Gamvar
Gloss Varnish saturates and gives greater depth to the colors in your painting
and gives your work a unified and protective semi-gloss surface. Virtually
odorless, premixed, and ready to apply, Gamvar Gloss goes on water-clear,
stays water-clear, and can be easily and safely removed with Gamblin Gamsol
Odorless Mineral Spirits.

Palette

I use "Freezer Paper" as my palette. The paper has a plastic coating that
serves as a great disposable way to mix and use my oil paints. Be sure to
use the plastic coated side. I also mix my paints on a small glass surface
and transfer to paper palette.

Brushes

My favorite brushes are made by "Royal & Langnickel". See link below

Supports

I paint on stretched canvas, birch plywood and MDF panels
I purchase my canvas at Hobby Lobby
I purchase MDF in 24"x48" sheets at Home Depot then cut them
to various smaller sizes. I prime them using a smooth paint
roller. I apply 4 to 6 layers of KILZ 2 Interior/Exterior Multi-purpose
primer before painting on them. I have them tint my KILZ to medium gray
when I purchase it.

ACRYLIC PAINTS

I use only Nova Color acrylic paint.
