Requirements

• This course welcomes beginner and intermediate watercolour artist.
• 100% Cotton paper of your choice
• Student grade or professional watercolour paints
• A tube of white gouache
• Small, medium and large watercolour brushes - preferably 4,8 and 12. In addition I have used a large 2 inch Hake brush, but any wash brush will do the job. You may also want to use a fan brush, but is not a necessity.
• Pencil and eraser
• Waterproof surface to lay your paper on, so it will retain the moisture on the paper for longer. If you don`t have use tape on your paper to tape it to a board and wet it multiple times one after the other by waiting for the paper to absorbs the water in between.
• Tracing paper and printed traces to print the outlines if you don`t want to sketch the outlines by yourself.
• 2 jars of water. 1 to wash the pigment from your brush and one to pick up fresh water.
• Spray bottle to soften your watercolours.
