SUPPLY LIST
Donald Jurney Supply List
We will be painting outdoors if the weather is agreeable. Failing that, there is indoor studio space.
I will be doing a demonstration at 12:30 on Monday, and another of Tuesday morning.
Easel
* French easel, half easel or portable pochade box mounted on a photographers tripod for working outside.
If you have some other easel, bring it along. I am currently using an EdgePro PaintBook.
* Palette
Painting surfaces
I will be painting on primed 1/8" panels (Claessens #13 linen, www.art-boards.com) 12"x16"
Bring 3 surfaces. 12x16" or smaller are recommended. Do not bring surfaces smaller than 6x8".
Tone your panels/canvases before you come. I do them by using a tiny bit of Liquin with either transparent red oxide, Cassel earth, or Blockx Capucine yellow reddish (really quite pink). The toning should be just a pale tint, not solid color.
Paint
Regarding the palette: You will notice that there are 11 colours, plus white, on the suggested palette list. Some of these colors may be new to you and some students may be surprised to see no cadmium yellows, cadmium red, or phthalo blue. I personally think that they are too strident for outdoor painting and they definitely require tremendous care to make sure they don't dominate your painting.
Mother nature is a girl full of nuance, and I'm sure you'll find your job a great deal easier, and more fun, using this particular palette. Nonetheless, if you're addicted to cadmiums, bring them. We'll try to tame them.
The two colors, identified by asterisks, are required of everyone. If
Rembrandt colors are not sold where you live, let me know and I'll bring some to share.
Remember that this group follows my own predilections. What's most important is that you have colors representing a large spectrum.
Be assured, nonetheless, that we'll figure it out, no matter what odd assortment you bring from your own paint box. And, certainly, bring some of your favorites for show and tell.
Old Holland mixed white (#005) (Titanium-Zinc)
Michael Harding Genuine Naples Yellow light (#605)
Winsor Newton Yellow Ochre 744
Blockx Pyrrollo Vermillion #521
Rembrandt Permanent Brown Madder #324 *(essential)
Rembrandt Burnt Umber #409
Rembrandt Ultramarine Blue Deep #506
Winsor Newton Alizarin Crimson permanent #004
Holbein Compose Green #H284
Old Holland Cad Green Light #D44
Holbein Green Gray #H372
Winsor Newton Prussian Green #540 *(essential)
I carry other colors, too. Among them are Old Holland Violet Gray #B208, Blockx Cassel Earth #147, Rembrandt Transparent Yellow Oxide #265, and a bunch of others. I'm happy to share bits of my colours.
Brushes
I use Rosemary & Co. Ivory short flats (long handle) plus a few ivory pointed rounds. Round bristle brushes by Raphael (Series 358) are also a reasonable choice at a cheaper price. Obviously you have your own favorites. Bring as many brushes as you can afford.
I also use 2" Chinese bristle brushes from the hardware store . They are good for softening and blending. They're cheap and disposable.
Medium and Solvent
I use Liquin Original (Winsor & Newton). Among its advantages is that it dries quite quickly, especially outside.
Bring odorless Mineral Spirits, or GamSol, etc.
Other
Paper towels (inexpensive ones that are less soft/less absorbent are best). I use Scot.
Brush washer
A medium cup, if you use one. I put my little pool of Liquin directly on my palette.
Appropriate clothing for outdoor painting: be prepared for the possibility that it may be blustery, or occasionally wet. Bring some waterproof clothing, especially foot gear)
Optional
hat
water bottle
sunblock
insect repellent
Mandatory:
Great enthusiasm and a sense of collegiality. Some will have forgotten some essential item of kit. Let's make sure we are all ready to support each other.

DONALD JURNEY PAINTINGS
DONALD JURNEY BIO
DONALD JURNEY
Donald Jurney was born in Rye, New York, in 1945, and was educated at Columbia University, the Pratt Institute, and the Art Students League. Nearly thirty years ago, he began his career with a one-man show at a temporary gallery space—the first of some twenty sold-out solo exhibitions. Over the years, Jurney has lived and worked in the Hudson River Valley, England, and in the Berkshires in western Massachusetts, and has painted extensively in France and the West of Ireland.
Jurney’s work is firmly rooted in the great plein air landscape tradition. The artist’s process typically begins on location, with a pencil sketch; back in the studio, Jurney begins to bring the painting to life. Guided by intuition, he might place a stroke of lively orange, scumble a highlight across the surface of a lake, or create a dense matrix of delicate green brush strokes that coalesce into a tree in full leaf. Bearing the impression of the particular setting in which they were conceived, Jurney’s paintings are a summons to celebrate the poetry of the everyday beauty of nature.
The artist now lives and maintains a studio on the North Shore of Boston where he continues to focus on sharing his distinct and inspiring vision of the landscape.
“Often a painting is a conversation between disparate shapes and forms – here brilliant, there disguised – in a carefully-conceived dance of light. This may be a celebration of a place, perhaps, or an investigation of an evanescent mood. For the viewer who has both the time and inclination to really look, one hopes to afford, by way of a painted surface wrought of subtleties, the opportunity to explore at leisure the wonder of the world in which we live.” – Donald Jurney
