Other than oil paints, what material did Edward Hopper use in his artwork?

Question

I need to find out what kind of materials (paintbrushes, canvas, paint etc.) Edward Hopper used in his artwork.
Anything helps, thanks!

Answer 1

Rooms by the Sea is Oil on Canvas. Other works by him are water colors, and he did some etchings.

(Rooms by the Sea is one of my favs!)

Answer 2

"Rooms by the Sea" is an oil painting. If you're asking what BRANDS of materials he used, I'm not sure that question can be answered. I just flipped through my Hopper bio and there was no mention of any paint or brush preferences he might have had.

Other than paints, he'd have used everything else you'd need to produce an oil painting---a wooden stretcher, canvas, ground (a primer, which in those days might have been white lead), brushes, rags, turpentine, linseed oil, palette knives and a palette.

Answer 3

Hopper was a consummate watercolorist (therefore he used paper, water, etc.), as the recent traveling exhibit of his work showed. He also made etchings, which means he must have used metal, ground (i. e., material that resists acid), etching needles, and printing inks.
