Materials
• 140 lb cold press Arches WATERCOLOR PAPER, cut or torn to 11 x 15” or a
9 x 12” cold press block. A small watercolor sketchbook is handy for
experimenting and taking notes. I use a Canson Montval Field Watercolor
ArtBook, 7 x 10”.
• Nos. 8, 10 and 12 round brushes. Sable is the ideal but it’s very expensive.
My current favorite brand is Silver Black Velvet. They are a mix of squirrel
and synthetic. The squirrel holds the water and the synthetic fibers spring
back after the stroke.
Winsor & Newton, Sennilier, Holbein, and Daniel Smith are all excellent
watercolor brands. If you are new to watercolor and are not ready to make an
investment in professional paint, use W&N Cotman paint.
COLORS
• Cadmium yellow or cad yellow light
• Aureolin or Winsor lemon or Permanent Lemon
• Quinacridone Gold
• Raw Sienna or Yellow Ochre
• Burnt Sienna
• Cadmium red or Cadmium red light
• Quinacridone Rose or Permanent Rose
• Alizarin Crimson
• Mineral Violet
• Ultramarine Blue
• Cerulean or Cobalt Turquoise Light
• Cobalt
• Winsor (phthalo) Blue
• Winsor (phthalo) Green
• Palette for your paint.
• Mixing tray or dishes. Small butcher trays are ideal. Porcelain dishes are great too.
