What colors does Jed use? Does he use heavy body paints? What brand of paint is it?
You can find a detailed supply list for the class right HERE
Jed uses heavy-body Professional Acrylic Paints by Winsor & Newton. Jed encourages the use of a limited palette. This saves you money, teaches you better about color mixing, and causes your paintings to have better color harmony. He usually recommends:
One red - Usually Cadmium Red Medium
One yellow - Usually Cadmium-Free Yellow Light. It’s important to get yellows in artist-grade quality - they cover much better than student-grade yellows. The other colors usually cover just fine in student-grade quality
One blue - Usually ultramarine blue
Plus black and white
With these colors, you can mix almost any color imaginable!
