2-Day Watercolor Workshop Three brushes Look for watercolor brushes...synthetic or blends work well...the finer sable ones are expensive and not necessarily easier to use. Flat 3/4 inch or wider. I like the Winsor Newton brand with clear plastic handles) Round # 10 or #12 or larger Liner Any size..used for fine lines Paints • I use tube colors... usually Winsor Newton and Holbein brands . They are quality, consistent vibrant colors. There are may good brands, but I do not suggest you invest money into the inexpensive student grade colors (such as Academy by Grumbacher or Cotman by Ninsor newton)as they as they have a lot of filler and are diluted, and grayed making vibrant color impossible . Therefore I suggest just a few tubes, from which most other colors can be mixed. • ** I have just started using the Soho brand from Jerry's Artarama. It is a less expensive and comparable to Winsor Newton colors. It comes only in the smaller tubes. Reds Alizarin Crimson and Cadmium Scarlet Permanent Rose Blues: French Ultramarine Blue Winsor ( also called Thalo blue , either red or green shade) Green Winsor ( or Thalo, either shade ) Yellow: New Gamboge Neutrals raw sienna burnt sienna For flower painting I like : Winsor Newton Quinicridone Magenta Holbein Greenish Yellow Holbein Quinicridone Gold Palette *Look for a large , white, rectangular one with lid...this is important. Paint can be used for a long time after squeezing into palette if kept closed... (wait to fill palette if you are a beginner) until first class. Brands include Jones, Richeson, Pike. If in doubt feel free to email me Paper I recommend D Arches 140 Lb cold-pressed paper ( 1 sheet ) Not in a tablet form. Miscellaneous Paper towels Water container ( I like low flat plastic such a refrigerator storage or ice cream containers.) Sea Sponge Pencil ( I use mechanical one) Any #2 office will do. Small spray bottle ( such as travel size hair spray bottle) Note book I use jerrysartarama.com (in Raleigh) or cheapjoes.com for online orders ** Please feel free to email me before class to discuss supplies.
