Online course

This online pre-recorded workshop is a version of my popular Atmospheric landscapes with oils and cold wax and is designed for those of you who are unable to travel to my face-to-face workshops. I know lots of you have travelled great distances over the years to attend but I recognise that's not possible for everyone, especially those of you who are overseas.

The course is scheduled to be launched on Thursday 28 November and in the first instance will only be available to my subscribers at an introductory price of £80 (approx USD$100).

You will find on this page a list of tools and materials that you will need if you are planning to enrol for my online Atmospheric landscapes using oils and cold wax workshop. The list includes where I source my materials in the UK although all materials should be readily available across the globe.

What	Description	Brand / type	Where to buy
Squeegee	This is the main tool we will be using for painting with. The 6-inch squeegee is just the right size and does not place too much strain on your hands.	Messermeister or Cold Wax Academy	Messermeister or Amazon directly or Lindsey Tyson Artist if you are UK based Cold wax academy or Jacksons art supplies if you are UK based
Palette knives	It is worth having a range of shapes and sizes in your toolbox so that you can produce different marks on the surface of your painting.	RGM Palette knife No. 30 or something similar	Jacksons Art supplies
Fan brush	For blending I find a soft synthetic fan brush works the best.	Daler Rowney System 3 acrylic brush: Fan 6	Jacksons Art supplies
Palette	You will need a surface on which to mix your paints. Traditionally artists have used a wooden palette, but you can now buy disposable paper palettes which are made from a waxy paper or alternatively use freezer paper or grease proof paper.	Paper palettes	Jacksons Art supplies
Arches Huile paper	Comes in pads, single sheets or large rolls. A small pad is sufficient for this workshop.	Arches huile oil painting paper: 300 gsm	Jacksons art supplies
Newsprint	Newsprint or newspapers for taping your paper onto.	Seawhite A3 newsprint pad	Jacksons Art supplies
Masking tape	Professional masking tape which is not too sticky.	Handover professional masking tape – various widths	Jacksons Art supplies
Cold wax medium	There are several brands on the market so if you are starting out for the first time using cold wax it is worth purchasing a small amount and experimenting to see which suits your practice and your workspace.	Gamblin, Jacksons or Dorland	Jacksons art supplies
Oil paint	Colours we will be using in this workshop are: · Titanium white · Cerulean blue · Crimson alizarin · Cadmium yellow deep or Indian yellow You can choose to use water-mixable oils but be aware that when you incorporate cold wax into your painting process it cancels out the benefits of using them as it contains solvent. Alkyd oil paints are suitable for this workshop.	Go for artist quality paints such as Jacksons, Gamblin, Michael Harding, Sennelier	Jacksons art supplies
Artist pigment	Pigments are great for adding a splash of colour.	Artist quality pigments	Jacksons Art supplies Cornelissens
Solvent	Choose a solvent which is odourless to minimise the build-up of odours when you are working. You need to be looking for something that is safe to use regularly and things to consider are odour, fumes, and flash points.	Gamsol, Jackson’s Shellsol T odourless solvent or Michael Harding miracle medium	Jacksons Art supplies
