Buy synthetic or blended watercolor brushes. Bring the following 4 watercolor brushes as a minimum selection . . . . . or any other watercolor brushes you own |
| |
- #8 round
- ¾ “ fla
- 1” or 2” flat or wash brush
- #3 rigger

Watercolor Paper |

If you already have 100% rag watercolor paper bring it. Otherwise I recommend |
| |
- One block of Arches 140 lb. cold pressed paper, size 10”X14” or 12”X16”
|
Watercolor Paint |
| |
If you already have watercolor paint, bring it. I recommend Winsor & Newton individual paint tubes. If you are on a budget, the Winsor & Newton student grade is called Cotman. Another student grade is Grumbacher. A minimum list is as follows: |
| |
- French Ultramarine Blue
- Alizarin Crimson Permanent
- Aureolin
- Burnt Sienna
|
| |
Other colors you may wish to add: |
| |
- Cadmium Red Medium
- Cadmium Yellow light

| |
- John Pike palette or other white plastic palette with deep wells to hold paint and a lid for spill-free transport
|
