SUGGESTED MATERIALS LIST FOR:Introduction to Watercolor Part 2Level 1Level 2Level 3 & 4
1 Hake brush to use for washes 1"1 Round #12 or larger soft animal hair or synthetic brush 1 Round #8 soft animal hair or synthetic brush1 flat 1/2" brushBrushes are very personal and I hesitate suggesting too many different kinds, you will see me usedifferent brushes in class.
I instruct with (PROFESSIONAL)watercolor tubes and a lot of them are transparent staining andnon-staining watercolor.The list below is just a suggestion. Please do not go out and buy all these if it is a budgetconcern. Just make sure they are professional and you have a cool and warm of each of theprimaries.I instruct this class with Windsor and Newton Professional Paints, I also use Hobien, as well asDaniel SmithThere are other professional paints available.
Windsor Newton / Daniel Smith / Holbein/ Schmincke: Horadam/You will need a Cool and a Warm of the Primaries here are some Suggestions; These are Windsor andNewton Colors;Yellow/ Windsor Lemon (Cool) New Gamboge (warm)Red/ Perm Alizarin Crimson (warm yellow undertones) Perm Rose(Pink Red)Blue/ French Ultramarine Blue (warm) Phthalo Blue orWindsor Blue Green Shade(cool)Secondary Colors Transparent Orange Windsor and Newton, Green, Permanent Sap Green Windsor andNewton,Burnt Sienna is a good color to have in your box. I often make this color with blue and orangeHere are some other colors that I like to use;My Primary Cool Yellow is Permanent Lemon by MaimeriBlu #112 Blue (Manganese Blue Hue) I likeDaniel Smith brand.Blue (Cobalt) Any ProfessionalPink (Opera Rose) Windsor and NewtonLight Green (Leaf Green) (Holbien)
Yellow (Raw Sienna) Any Professional I use Windsor and NewtonA larger square or rectangle palette with at least 8 wells to put the tube paint in it should havea cover. Mijello is a good brand and you can get it on Amazon.
I suggest using only 100% cotton rag professional paper. Arches is a good paper. The size for theWatercolor paper you work on depends on each student and their comfort level budget ect.For our projects on a 10 week semester I suggest. 3 Larger sheets of watercolor paper Cold Press140lb they do come 22 x 30If it is a shorter semester you will need less paper.
If you are doing very wet washes and you do not want to pre-stretch your paper a higher weight260lb or 300lb are better.
You should plan on stretching the paper if you are using #140LB paper if you paint very wet.A pencil, kneaded eraser, Extra Fine Black Sharpie Marker. Masking tape or artist tape, a board totape your paper to. Art Mask if you are inclined to use this. I like Windsor and Newton art Mask.Water bucket and a rag.
