MATERIALS

Use this Basic Watercolor Supplies and Materials list as a guide.

We’ll be working on 140lb Cold Press Paper for each project.  I recommend Arches 140lb Cold Press

There is an emphasis on mixing greens for summer landscape paintings.  The Basic Materials list includes two yellows: one cool and one warm, along with four blues : Cobalt, Ultramarine, Cerulean, and Indanthrene.   In addition to those, Quinacridone Deep Gold or Quinacridone Gold is a good addition. 

Sorry.  This class is full.  See all upcoming classes here.

Painting The Fall Landscape online class begins September 29th – more info here.
