Sandi teaches a combined Oil painting and pastel
class. Students have the choice of working in either oil or pastel
or learning both mediums once they feel comfortable working in one.
Classes are every six weeks and meet on Tuesday
evening from 6:00 to 8:30 in Sandi's studio in Stonington, CT. For
more information email Sandi at sandi@sandigold.com
or call 401.348.9571.
Sandi is a certified Expressive Art facilitator and teaches Expressive
Art classes in both Stonington and Westerly. Email Sandi at sandi@sandigold.com
if you are interested specifying a time that works best for
you. Once there are enough people who have expressed an interest,
a class will be scheduled. Sandi is also available to see people
on a one-on-one basis.
Materials list for Sandi Gold’s oil painting class:

Cadmium Yellow Medium
Cadmium Orange
Cadmium Red Light
Cadmium, Red Deep
Alizarin Crimson (optional)

Permanent Green Light
Viridian (optional)
Yellow Ochre
Kneaded eraser*
Brushes: Only buy Bristle "Filberts"
#2, #4, #6 Buy the best quality brushes you can afford. For example:
Robert Simmons Also you will need a very small round brush for signing
your work.
Turpenoid (This brand is important to buy because it is odorless.
It comes in a blue and white can.) Comes in pint or quart or gallon.
A small jar (to put your Turpenoid in - The glass jar that baby
food comes in works well.)
Palette knife (wood and metal) Buy the kind that is bent in the
middle.
Canvas (Fredix is best although Jerry's/AWS brand is fine) 11 x
14, 12 x 16 or 16 x 20
Large pad of Palette Paper (Fits perfectly into a large blue and
white palette holder.) If you prefer a wooden palette, then by all
means buy one.
Optional: Large Blue and White plastic palette holder (Your palette
fits in this and your paints stay fresher longer. And it makes it
far easier to pack and carry your palette)
Pencil and pad* (11 x 14”ish) which is all you need for the
first day of class.
Paper towels or cotton rags (for wiping your brush)
And please feel free to bring spring water to drink to class if
you want to!
You need only bring the materials marked with an* to the first
day of class. You can save money on art materials on EBay (pastels),
going to Jerry's in Providence or ordering online. Saving money
takes time so you must plan ahead.
Materials list for Sandi Gold’s Pastel Class:
1. A kneaded eraser*
2. Pastels: I use and recommend the brand Rembrandt. A box of 90
although costly, is a good place to start. (Half sticks are fine
to start with if you want to save money and not make a large investment
in materials.) The more you have, the easier it is for you to work.
3.Foam Core: to be used as a backing board for 1/2 a sheet of Canson
paper.
4. 1” Masking Tape
5. Vine charcoal (medium)
6. # 8 Flat Bristle Brush (for erasing)
7. Paper: Canson Mi-tienes. Middle-toned colors: Gray or Blue (not
too light and not too dark.)
8) (Lotion –free) Baby wipes (for cleaning your hands).
9) Pad of white paper* (nothing fancy – simply for sketching
before doing your painting)
10) Pencil* (sharpened)
You need only bring the materials marked with an* to the first
day of class. You can save money on art materials on EBay (pastels),
