Materials
WATERCOLOR PAINTS – tubes or pans (approx. 7.5 or 15 ml)- Da Vinci, Grumbacher or Winsor-Newton are good choices- professional grade or student grade: – Grumbacher (Academy) or Winsor-Newton (Cotman). Professional grade paints are better quality and therefore, more expensive so buy what you can afford.
Cadmium Red Veridian Alizarin Crimson Sap Green Cadmium Yellow Yellow Ochre Lemon Yellow Burnt Umber Ultramarine Blue Burnt Sienna Cerulean Blue Payne’s Gray
WATERCOLOR PAPER - (pad or loose sheets are fine). Michael’s has a pad with mixed textures and weight. If you choose sheets, cold pressed is best to start with – use the brand Arches 140 lb. cold pressed paper – size of sheet 22"x30" - that can be cut into fourths, giving you four sheets to paint on (11”x15” each).
WATERCOLOR BRUSHES - Rounds: #12, #8, #4, #2 (or something close to those sizes) and a Flat:1"
A BACKING FOR YOUR WATERCOLOR PAPER - 1” larger than the paper size. For a 11”x15” sheet of watercolor paper, a 12”x16” board would be fine (foam board is good or gatorboard, masonite or a drawing board)
