If you are taking one of my intermediate- level 2 watercolor / mixed media classes ,You will want to bring the following:
Please have available: one pad of Strathmore, Arches or Fabriano 140 lb cold pressed watercolor paper -Recommended sizes are @ 9 x 12 or 11 x 14
Since we will also be using collage as a technique in this program please bring 3 sheets of Japanese Masa paper in addition to the 140lb wc paper.
Paints:
I recommend using Winsor & Newton, Daniel Smith, Golden QOR watercolor paints
Please have available one small paint tube of each color of watercolor paints:
Permanent Alizarin Crimson (also known as Anthraquinoid Red) – a cool purplish red
Scarlet Lake (also known as vermillion) a warm red that leans to an orange/red
Quinacridrone red - brilliant red that is warmer than permanent alizarin crimson.
Winsor Blue (a green shade—also known as phthalo blue - green) – a cool blue with hints of green
Winsor Blue ( red shade_ also known as phthalo blue - red) - a slightly warmer, staining blue which creates beautiful purples
French Ultramarine (a warmer purplish/ sedimentary blue color)
Hansa Yellow (or Lemon Yellow) – a cool yellow
New Gamboge Yellow (a warm yellow with hints of orange)
Yellow Ochre - a sedimentary yellow
