Supplies

 

Paints:

Watercolors come in tubes and in pans. We will be using the tubes as they are much easier to work with.

 

Watercolor brands use different names for each pigment, so it's better to compare the color with something from nature. We will use primary colors in it’s cool and warm versions and some extra colors as is described below:

 

Permanent red: Like a red apple

Thalo crimson: Like an intense pink rose

French ultramarine: Like a lapizlazuli rock

Prussian blue: like a dark ocean blue

Phthalo blue: Similar to turquoise but more intense

Lemon yellow: like the fruit

Cadmium yellow: Like a yellow flower

Burnt umber: dark brown like a forest tree trunk

Thalo violet or Mauve: deep purple

Viridian green: dark blue green like a pine tree

Grey Payne’s: a dark blue grey

 

Brushes:

 

1 ½ to 2 inch Nylon flat brush (for washes)

Round watercolor brushes in about 6 different sizes.

Examples No.0, 2, 4, 8, 10, 16

 

Paper:

Watercolor paper 140 lbs. or 300 g cold press

(you can find wood pulp papers or cotton papers. Cotton will offer the best quality but it can be much more expensive. Either one will work for class)
