Materials List For Mike Hyrman Classes

Selecting
good brushes is almost an art in itself.
I have had great results with the brushes I bought a few years ago
from Joe Fettingis at his summer workshop at The Art Center. He has had opportunity to test many
brushes over the years and the ones he has chosen to use he sells via his web
site or phone ( www.jfettingis.com
or (574) 722-9072). If you don't get your brushes from Joe,
buy the best quality brushes you can afford. Here
are the primary brushes I'll be using. At minimum, you should have
those that are bolded with asterisks: |
|
1 ½ " flat brush |
#10/0 script brush |
|
#16 flat brush |
#4 flat scrubber |
|
#10 Kolinski round |
#6 round scrubber |
|
#6 round |

I
really like the Maimeriblu line of paints.
Not only are these paints highly concentrated, they come in larger
tubes that cost about the same as other brands smaller tubes. All research I have done give these paints
high marks for permanence and transparency.
These
paints can be purchased at sites like www.dickblick.com
or www.cheapjoes.com and other art
supply sites, but you'll find the colors I'll be using at Joe Fettingis'
website for (probably) a better price.
If you buy another brand, make sure you get the professional quality
line and not their "academic" paint. Here
are the colors I'll be using. I am
listing them in order of importance and usefulness. At least get the first 5 or 6 colors: |
|
1. Garnet Lake (#181) |
6. Green/Blue (#350) |
|
2. Bruno di Marte (#477) |
7. Hookers Green (#325) |
|
3. Permanent Red (#253) |
8. Light Pink (#473) |
|
4. Perm. Lemon Yellow (#112) |
9. Perm Warm Yellow (#114) |
|
5. Cobalt Blue (#373) |
10. Bruno di Grain (#488) |
Other
supplies
|
1 full sheet of Arches 140lb cold press paper |

2H pencil (I prefer mechanical pencils) |
Kneaded eraser |

High quality paper towels (I recommend Viva) |
A small white saucer |
