Suggested Materials list

(NOT mandatory, if you already have similar colors and other items feel free to bring them instead of buying exact items below I am not overly obsessed with brand or color choices as long as they're good quality and well behaved which most artist brands are):

Paints - Cobalt Blue or Ultramarine blue, Yellow Ochre, Alizarian Crimson, Burnt Sienna, Titanium or Chinese White.

Brushes: Number 8 round watercolor brush(synthetic or sable) OR an Asian Calligraphy Brush(small to medium size, I would try to bring a few spares if you wish to purchase from me), 1/2" Synthetic Flat (like an acrylic short handle brush), #1 Synthetic Liner brush(this is a brush with long belly). You can bring assorted brushes if you already have them in your inventory.

1 Palette - for eg. large white plastic/ceramic tray or butcher's tray; a medium kitchen ceramic plate works best.

1 Container to hold water - for eg. an empty yoghurt container;

1 Strathmore Watercolor pad 11x14 " size or whichever you feel comfortable with.

1 piece Corplast or waterproof working support for watercolour paper if you like to paint on paper taped on board.

1 painter's masking tape if you like to tape the paper on board

1 Retractable Razor craft Knife;

1 2B or HB pencil;

1 soft eraser like mars;

1 hair dryer. We would try to share from the centre but having your own will speed up your work;

1 Cellulose sponge helps to regulate water in brush, this is different from regular sponge. If you are not sure just use paper napkins;

1 box Paper Napkin like Kleenex for cleaning and wiping brushes or cloud techniques.

Note: Please note that many watercolor techniques are material sensitive especially paper and brushes!
