List of Materials For Omar Ortiz Painting Workshop
The following materials are those that I believe students should take to the workshop
MATERIALS:
Oils
I use Oils from the brands: Winton from Wonsor & Newton , Rembrandt from Royal Talens and Pebeo and these are the ones I suggest you
buy to have the same range of colors because the tones change from one brand to another even when they are marked with the same
name, but it is not mandatory, the student can take the oils of the brand they currently have or that they can get.
In the following image you will find marked with red circle those that are obligatory and in blue those that are important but not obligatory.
Acrylic
Ocher yellow
Red Oxide
Black
Dark green
One of the objectives of the workshop is to share with you the way
to prepare 10 colors that help us to paint the skin tones and we will
need for that the oils marked as obligatory in the previous list,
additionally if you wish you can buy this "Skin tones Set" on my
website at the following link:

Brushes
I suggest good quality brushes, Hog hair, synthetic hair and natural hair is a bit complex to give details of all the brushes but here are
some images of the brushes that I take to the workshops to help with the deccion of which to buy.
- Natural hair: (preferably Red Sable hair) round and Filberts and very important one or two fan brushes to soften
- Synthetic hair: round and Filberts
- Hog hair: round and Filberts
- 1 1/2 inch Hog hair brush
NOTE: if you want you can buy a "Brush Set by Omar Ortiz" it is a selection of more than 30 brushes of different brands, with a variety of
shapes and types of hair, this is a set of brushes that I use regularly to paint human figure and is the SET of brushes that I ask my
students in the workshops I teach, the SET includes a hard case for travel that perfectly protects the brushes avoiding damage and can be
bent to hold the brushes vertically .
Other materials
Ipad or tablet to visualize the image to be painted (please load the reference images taht will be sent to you on to the tablet) If you do not
have a tablet, take the photos printed in a big size and with good quality. I suggest you take a mount to have the tablet in a comfortable
position.
turpentine
Brush cleaner
Medium or large size Palette I sugest acrylic or wood (I do not recommend the paper ones because they absorb the oil)
winsor & newton Liquin (medium to dilute and dry the oil)
Scotch tape
50 x 40 cm canvas, if you can get linen fabric well if not cotton fabric is ok
Think about how to transport the canvas back home with the fresh oil since it is very likely that the work will not dry at 100% (a
polycarbonate case can work since the wood is not allowed in the plane cabin.
