Oil Paints
The palette changes from course to course, so unfortunately I can’t guarantee a specific palette before the start of each course.
I recommend Michael Harding oil paints, which I have used for nearly twenty years.
Try Before You Buy
Instead of purchasing all of the paints, you can opt to pay an additional fee of €30 per painting session and we will provide you with all the Michael Harding paints you will need.
Brushes
The below photo shows the brush’starter kit’ for most painting courses. As of this writing (September, 2024), the value of the kit is about €110, which is discounted by 20%, for a total cost of €88.
If you are on a tighter budget, please work with the team at La Bottega dell’Artista to buy a kit that is similar.
