Meet Whitney Paige
“I am NOT a classically trained artist, and I don’t think you need to be. I have a natural rebellious streak that has enabled me to create meaningful contemporary art through a unique visual language.” - Whitney Paige
Whitney started painting in her early 20s. She began her career teaching at paint and sips across Miami, before moving to Georgia to develop her original art. She moved to St. Petersburg 3 years ago and is excited to return to teaching through this workshop series.
Suggested Materials

My Favorite Paints to Mix from are below in bold, but you do not need to match my palette exactly. The most important thing with paint selection is that you have a warm and cool option for red, yellow, & blue(cyan.) Depending on the reference photo you select, you may want to bring a secret guest color for your palette. If you would like to e-mail me your reference photo, I’m happy to make suggestions for any secret guest colors for you. (Please Note: I use a very unique palette in my work.)
Flake White or Mixing White
Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Red medium
Quinacridone Magenta, Permanent Rose, Quinacridone Red
Cadmium Yellow Medium, Hansa Yellow Deep
Hansa Yellow Medium, Hansa Yellow Light, Lemon Yellow
Ultramarine Blue
Phthalo Blue, Cerulean Blue, Prussian Blue
Burnt Sienna
-
My favorite brushes to use are the Princeton Dakota Series Filberts sizes 2-10. I do not recommend using a brush smaller than a size 2.
Since we will be painting with thick oil paints, synthetic hoghair bristles are the best! And I always recommend long handled brushes.
-
The best palette for this workshop would be a paper palette as it allows for easy transport and clean up. They come in books of 9×12 and 11×14 sizes and we will need at least 2 sheets.
If you’d like to save any unused paint, I recommend also bringing a flat tupperware container.
-
Canvas can be either stretched or panels, in cotton or linen. (cotton is less expensive).
Ideally, use either 9” x 12” or 11” x 14”
-
For this workshop, please do not bring any solvent based mediums. For brush cleaning we will use either cold-pressed linseed oil or refined linseed oil.
If you’d like to mix any fast drying mediums into your painting, I recommend Gamblin’s Solvent Free Medium. Please note that even with fast-drying mediums, the painting will still be wet at the end of the workshop.
-
A roll of sturdy paper towels or clean cotton rags are recommended for brush cleaning.
-
Artmosphere is equipped with a painter’s sink, so if you’d like to wash your brushes before you depart, please bring whatever brush soap you’d prefer.
