Continuing & Advanced Watercolor

Supplies: Students are recommended to bring the following supplies for successful results:

Paper:
The most important element. Arches paper is recommended, in block or sheet formats.
- Block, 140pound, Cold Press, 9x12 or 10 x14 or 11x14.
- Large individual sheets, can be divided into 2-4 smaller sheets, buy Cold Press.

Paints:
I recommend a limited palette. 10 Winsor & Newton Professional grade colors:
- 6 warm colors: Winsor Red, Winsor Yellow, Burnt Siena, and Raw Siena, Permanent Rose and Winsor Violet.
- 4 cool colors: Winsor Blue Green Shade, Winsor Blue Red Shade, Hookers Green, and Paynes Grey.

Other items:
- Pencils, hard lead 2H or 4H
- Kneaded eraser
- *Drawing board, 12"x26"
- White watercolor tape (not painter's tape)
- Palette and mixing pans (preferred is ceramic white palette)
- *2 small water holders or cups
- Small mixing pans for colors, mine have lids.
- Incredible White Mask, for blocking areas you wish to keep white.
*Drawing boards, pencil sharpener, paper towels, rulers, and water holders/cups will be available, but you may use your own if preferred.

Brushes:
Do not spend a fortune on brushes. Winsor & Newton has an inexpensive line. I also like the black silver brushes.
Sizes: 1”  and ½”flat; #4 or #7 #10 round; Detail #2 round. My favorite brush: Silver Black Velvet Oval ¾”.

Supplies can be ordered from several art suppliers including Blick, Jerry's Artarama, or Bloomington Fine Arts Supply if you prefer to shop locally.
