SUPPLY LIST

• SKETCH PAD: 9 x 12" or larger, lightweight bond or inexpensive paper

• WATER COLOR PAPER: The preferred paper is 140 lb., hot press. Arches, Lanaquerelle, Winsor-Newton (these in 22" x 30") or Fabriana 5 "Classico" in 27" x 39" are good choices. Spiral bound or glued pads are okay for new painters, but you will need the individual sheets eventually.

• PAINTS: If you have transparent watercolors in tubes please bring them to our first class.
  
  For beginners, it is enough to bring the primaries:
    1. Perm. red light
    2. Prussian blue
    3. Gamboge yellow
  
  For more advanced students:
    Hookers Green; Burnt Sienna; Alizarin Crimson; Aureolin Yellow; Viridian Green; Indigo.
  
  These are all options. If you prefer different colors, please use them.
  
  NOTE: for beginners, student-grade paints in small tubes are adequate. Later, I recommend Winsor-Newton or Holbein.

• BRUSHES: Please have one pointed round brush for the class, #16 or #18 (or bigger).
  If you already have your own brushes, please bring them to class.

• TAPE: Drafting or masking tape and glue tape (comes in brown or white).

• SMALL ITEMS: eraser, pencil (graphite), water holder (plastic is best), Kleenex or toilet paper, a soft sponge, charcoal.

• BOARD: (plastic, wood, masonite, etc. will do) to stretch your paper on.
