Colorful Watercolors for the Beginner

Required Supplies:

Sketch paper
Tracing Paper
A couple of good graphite pencils
Grey Gum Eraser or Kneaded Eraser
at least 1 sheet of good quality watercolor paper; 22" x 30"
Strathmore Blank Watercolor Cards, 1 box
A set of good quality Watercolor Brushes that include some round and some flat or angle shaders -
A set of good quality watercolor paints
Mixing Palate
Roll of paper towels
Roll of 1" wide Artist masking tape
Water Containers for rinsing brushes as you work

NOTES FROM THE INSTRUCTOR:
Paper: I use Rives BFK heavyweight -white Or Arches 140lb cold press
Brushes: I like to use: Rounds--2, 4, 6, 8 and Angle Shaders--1/2", 5/8"
Paints: Try to get at least the primary colors--a red, yellow and blue in good quality paint--you can mix what you need from those.  Don't go buy a whole bunch of paint for this class unless you plan to keep painting!  You can do the class work and learn a lot without the investment!  I would suggest that you look at some of the sets that are available.

Other materials I like to have on hand when I paint:
a dump bucket if you like to stay at your table and not hop up and down!
1/2 cup of Kosher Salt
Hair dryer (we have one you can use during the class)
Sharpies-Extra Fine
Colored Pencils
Caran D'Ache Water Soluble Artist Crayons

Please note: There are a few stairs to climb to get to the studio at Sisters Art Works.
