List of materials
Please note that paints and brushes are just a guideline. For beginners a multipack set of Cotman tube watercolours will do just fine. A selection of three different sized brushes is also fine. Eg. A rigger, a mop and a sable.
-
• French Ultramarine Blue
• Cobalt Blue
• Alizarian Crimson
• Burnt Sienna
• Cad Yellow
• Yellow Ochre
• Pyrrol Orange
• Neutral Tint
• Lavender
• White (Gouache)
-
I use big and small mop brushes and pointed sable brushes, mine are mainly squirrel but there are good synthetics.
My mop is a Neef brush size # 10 (Or nearest size to, whatever you feel comfortable with, it just needs to hold paint and have a point)
I have a selection of sables and small mops, again whatever you have at hand that you feel comfortable with.
A rigger or needle point for fine details and lines.
-
A sketch pad between 250g and 300g, fine or rough, doesn’t matter. Mine is a Mole Skin long landscape sketch pad that’s pages are fine on one side and rough on the other. I do like to use the long landscape pads.
Paper for finished painting can be Arches, Saunders Waterford or alike, 300 grams / 140 lb Rough texture off white
-
• Tissues
• Masking tape
• 4B pencil (or nearest to)
• Water spray bottle
• Water container
• And a willingness to laugh and learn!!
