Mr. Ford's Barn

MR. FORD’S BARN

(a Dorothy Dent design taught by Linda Carpenter, permission granted  Dorothy Dent)

This is a simple oil painting of a  barn with fall foliage and will be easy and fun for anyone, even if you are a beginner or oils just “aren’t your thing” – give it a try!  If you have any questions, call me at 954-675-7883.

Specific Supplies List:   11 x 14 canvas (Michael’s has this size in a value package so you could buy and share); brushes (small background bristle brush, fan foliage bristle brush, size 8 and/or 6 flat sable brush, liner brush)  check out Dorothy’s website (ddent.com) to view these brushes – many of you already have them, and I will have some brushes to loan out.  If you want them, let me know and I could order some for you.  A portable easel is good to have but with a small canvas like this, it is not absolutely necessary.

General Supplies List:  paper towels cut into 1/4’s – not quilted and LOTS of them! baby wipes (a must); baby oil; apron; graphite (tracing paper not needed); palette paper if not buying a palette from me;  painter’s tape; stylus and/or red ballpoint pen (for tracing pattern)

Palette/paints:  At a cost of $4 per palette, I will supply palette paper with paints and containers of Liquiglaze (blending medium) and of Turpenoid (odorless paint thinner for cleaning brushes).  If you choose to bring your own paints, you will also need the other two items.  The paints used are Permalba and the list follows (I think the colors are fairly comparable with Windsor Newton and it shouldn’t make much difference anyway)

Palette Colors:  AC – alizarin crimson; B – ivory black; BS – burnt sienna; BU – burnt umber; CRL – cadmium red light; CT – cobalt turquoise; CYM – cadmium yellow medium; IB – indanthrone blue;  YO – yellow ochre and W – titanium white
