Two Spirits on Mars

MATERIALS

• A stretched, primed canvas

• Charcoal – Willow Charcoal is good for fluid, flowing lines

• Various brush sizes with silky brush hairs suitable for oil painting. Make sure you get really high quality brushes. They are expensive but are well worth it in the long run as the higher the quality – the less you have of bristles coming off onto your painting! I highly recommend using Isacryl brushes.

• Oil paints: I have used Spectrum Red, Spectrum Red Deep, Titanium White, Lamp Black and Spectrum
