Paper:
• Inexpensive sketch pad 8x10” or larger for quick sketches
• Good quality drawing pad with acid free paper, 8x10” or larger
• (May use hot press (smooth) watercolor paper if desired)
Pencils:
• # 2 or HB to begin with. If serious about drawing, you may want to purchase a fuller range from 4B, 3B, 2B, B, HB, F, H, 2H, 3H, 4H. High number B’s are the soft-est and darkest; high number H’s are the hardest and lightest.
• Ruler: 12-18” (if interested in perspective)• Pencil sharpener or matt knife (small piece
of 150 sandpaper, optional)• ( I use a matt knife and sandpaper)• Kneaded eraser • Drawing board (light weight plywood
works well)• Masking tape.• (Class may later use pen and ink (micron
pens are nice), watercolor, or other draw-ing media.)
Watercolor Supplies
• Every artist has his or her own preferenc-es in setting up a pallet. The colors listed below are what I use.
• Artist grade tubes:• Cobalt blue • Alizarin crimson • Cadmium red medium (or substitute Rose
madder genuine)
• Cadmium red light (or substitute with a light red-orange)
• Cadmium orange (or substitute ) • Cadmium or lemon yellow• Yellow ochre• Viridian green• Dioxazine purple (or substitute)• Chinese white (optional) In watercolor, the
white of the paper is the white you use. • Large plastic pallet for paints, 10x12” is
good (need many wells and large area for mixing colors)
• Brushes (natural hair or synthetic):• Small (#2-4), medium (#6-8) and large
(#10-12) watercolor brushes (rounds with a good point)
• 1 large flat mop brush for washes (approx 1/2-3/4”) (0. You may desire an ultra small round for fine work, 0 to 000 or smaller)
• Sketch pad 8x10” or larger (inexpensive paper)
• Pencil for sketching (#2 or HB, B, or 2B) • Kneaded eraser• Tracing paper tablet (for transfer tech-
nique, from sketch to watercolor paper.• I will supply isopropyl alcohol for transfer.)• Watercolor paper (heavier paper is best,
140-300 lb)--individual sheets or water-color tablet. Arches, cold pressed, 140-lb, or Fabriano Uno, soft pressed, 140-lb are best for reworking.
• Heavy cardboard or light weight plywood for mounting paper
