Students may bring photos or ideas that they wish to work with. It can be anything: floral, still life, landscape or even a non-objective design.
Professional Grade tube watercolors – Good choices of brands include: Winsor Newton, Holbein, Daniel Smith, DaVinci, or M. Graham
Recommended Colors: These are colors that I work with, but you may have colors in your paint box that will work just fine. What you should have is a warm and cool version of the three primary colors.
Permanent Rose
Winsor Red or Pyrrol Red
Winsor Yellow, Hansa Yellow or Cadmium Yellow
Aureolin
Prussian Blue, Antwerp or Winsor Blue
Cobalt Blue
Brushes
1″ or 2″ wash brush
#10 or #12 round watercolor brushes
Paper: Paper is your most important supply. Please purchase a professional grade paper, if at all possible. The resulting paintings will be far superior and the process less frustrating for you.
You can purchase individual sheets and cut to size: 140# cold press watercolor paper. (Arches, Winsor Newton, Fabriano or Lanaquarelle)
OR purchase a Watercolor block (Arches, Fabriano, Lanaquarelle, or Winsor Newton) 9″ x 12″ size or larger works well.
If using sheet paper, please have a drawing board to tape your paper to.
