For this course, you can choose to use Titanium White + Black, or you can create your own black by mixing together Ultramarine Blue and Raw Umber.

When doing studies, I like to paint on a less expensive substrate like oil paper (sometimes called canvas paper) since these are meant to be more like sketches than finished paintings.

Attached here, you'll find a drawing template of the coffee mug. If you'd like to use that, just print it and transfer it to your painting surface. I am also attaching photo references of the still life examples I used. Feel free to use these or to create your own (just keep it fairly simple!)

The projects for this course include:

- 9-step value scale

- Poster study with 3 values + white

- Poster study with 5 values + white

- Poster studies in high key, middle key, and low key

I hope you'll try each project! But feel free to post any projects you choose! I look forward to seeing them!
