My materials and 'Black Sheep' brush
Since people regularly ask and my use is fairly consistent, these are my key materials.
This is not a recommendation and I don’t wish to be a brand ambassador, but am very happy to let people know what I use.

Phthalo Blue (Red Shade), French Ultramarine, Indian Red, Light Red, Raw Umber, Winsor Lemon, Cobalt Turquoise, (+ any) scarlet-type red. Brand: W&N Professional range, except Phthalo = Ken Bromley. Click HERE for information explaining my choice of colour palette.

Finally….. The Black Sheep
My ‘right hand man’ – essential to my painting. You can find out more about it here.
