MATERIALS
PAINTS - these are the colors I will be using to teach color mixing:
Ultramarine blue
Permanent rose
Cadmium Yellow Light or New Gamboge
Sap or Hookers Green or Winsor Green Yellow Shade
The brand of paints you buy will make a difference in your color mixing and in the permanency of your painting. I suggest Winsor & Newton (NOT their Cotman brand) and Holbein.
BRUSHES 1" flat (optional)
Round #3, #8, and #12
PALETTE a covered plastic palette with a good sized mixing area.
PAPER I recommend Arches 140 cold press, and will make it available to the class for $5.00 per sheet (22"X30"), or you can purchase your own "watercolor block", again I recommend Arches 140 cold press. It is a good paper and will give you a good feel for what watercolor is supposed to do. If you practice on anything less, you won't get the same control.
WATER CONTAINER a plastic container that holds about 2 cups of water. Cool Whip or sherbet containers work well.
SPONGE a household sponge
A NUMBER 2 PENCIL AND A SOFT ERASER
A LIGHT WEIGHT STOOL OR BEACH CHAIR (for summer classes)
Supplies may be purchased from Cheap Joe’s Art Stuff or Daniel Smith, both reasonably priced mail order sources (catalogs and internet).
If you have any questions about the supplies, please feel free to contact me! paintingcath@gmail.com
