SUPPLIES
PAINT
Bring whatever you have No special colors are needed
– Squeeze tubes or watercolor paint pans are fine. Pans are ideal for outdoor painting and travel.
PAPER
– Approximately 9″x12″ 140lb cold-press or larger is recommended
– Watercolor pads are useful for outdoor painting as you don’t need a board
– If you want paper that won’t buckle, consider 300lb cold press.
BRUSHES
– Bring whatever you have
– Round brushes come in all numbers, #1, #8 & #12 (recommended)
– Flat brushes come in various widths, 1/2″ & 1″ (recommended)
– Filbert brushes #8 are great for blending portraits and flower petals.
PALETTES
– Plastic – To properly view the colors, a white palette is reccommended. Opt for rectangular palettes with large painting wells that can hold various colors.
OTHER ITEMS TO CONSIDER
– A mounting board is necessary to tape the watercolor paper to if you don’t use a watercolor pad. Gatorboard or Form board is a lightweight and portable material that can be easily cut down to any desired size.
– Two water containers, paper cups will do (one for clean & one for dirty water)
– 2B Pencil & eraser
– Kitchen paper towels (rag cloth or sponge optional)
– Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (optional)
– Artist tape or masking tape (1/2″ or 1″ wide)
– Masking fluid – If there are spots you would rather not paint, you could try using the fluid to keep areas protected. Use color fluid other than white to see the image better (optional)
