SUPPLY LIST
Experienced watercolor painters: Bring your regular watercolor set and supplies. Unless you find color mixing difficult, it is not necessary to have the same color palette as me.
Beginning watercolor painters: I suggest Koi or Van Gogh for someone just starting out and not wishing to spend a lot of money. Reeves, Artist Loft, and other very cheap brands can be difficult to work with as the pigments tend to separate as they dry. Go for a small set of 8-10 tubes, rather than a large, cheap set.
Paper:
8x10 pack of 140 lb. Cold Press Watercolor Paper.
Arches is, of course, the best, however, if price conscious, Fluid Watercolor Paper is recommended.
Paint:
Quinacridone Magenta
Cadmium Red or Pyrrol Red
Cadmium Yellow (or Lemon Yellow)
Ocher Yellow
Phthalo Blue
Ultramarine Blue (or Cobalt)
Burnt Sienna (Optional, can always mix a brown!)
Payne’s Grey
Brushes:
One or three long rounds size 6, 8 or 12 (Princeton Velvetouch is preferred – comes to a point)
One rigger or script brush.
One of the following: a large flat, a mop, hake, or wash brush.
Other:
Masking tape or blue painter’s tape
Support - you may need something to tape your paper to. A piece of wood, foam core, or clayboard works fine.
Mixing Palette
Water container
Pencil
Eraser
