Michael Chesley Johnson Pastel and/or Oil Workshops : Samples Shipping List - 2008

 

Regarding PASTEL samples:  Students welcome pastels, pastel paper, colour charts, catalogs and other promotional materials.  I teach landscape painting, so landscape colours are best.

Regarding OIL samples:  Students welcome oil paints, boards or canvas samples to paint on, mediums, colour charts, catalogs and other promotional materials.  I recommend my split-primary palette to students, which includes:  Cadmium Yellow Light, Cadmium Yellow Medium or Deep, Cadmium Red Light, Alizarin Crimson, Ultramarine Blue, Phthalo Blue plus  white.  I use Galkyd Lite for my medium.

Regarding PRICES:  Because I will be bringing some of these materials from my US post office box into Canada for my workshops, please note clearly on the packing slip that these are SAMPLES.  Otherwise, Canada will charge me 14% on them when I declare them at the border.
