Fairfield Porter

Dear parents and Guardians of Studio Students:

The time has come for our students to begin oil painting. Students will be responsible for purchasing a portion of their paints and brushes. We will supply many materials but because of independent and home work, students need to have their own materials. We do purchase in bulk to make the sets as inexpensive as possible.

Some paint and solvents WILL be provided

The Art Dept will be ordering sets that include 6- 37 ml tubes of : cadmium yellow pale hue, Alizarine crimson, Ultramarine Blue, Pthalo Green, Yellow Ochre, and Titanium White.Plus brushes. The cost of these items is usually over $ 100. We will charge $ 50. If you are interested in purchasing from the Art Dept please ask your student to sign the order form during class. We also will have sets of brushes for a discount. You also may buy your own or purchase online.
