The Study of Watercolor Pears

 
 
  In this watercolor class you will learn to paint beautiful, bright,
luminous pears and are so real you could reach out and take a bite.
You will not only learn the “magic” of creating beautiful backgrounds but you will learn some tips and techniques of shading that will prove to be invaluable in all your watercolor paintings whether just in your journal or framed as a masterpiece. After this class you will not only be a “Pear-ologist” but you will have some new tricks up your art sleeve and will help you become the best watercolorist you can be.
Have Fun!

 

 

SUPPLIES

Only the supplies with the asterick are the ones you have to have. All other supplies are optional. 
 

* Must haves 

Supplies that I will be using are in red

You might want to look at the “Supplies” video before ordering any supplies! 

 

If any of these links don’t work you can always Google the supply and find sources for it. 

 

*Watercolor Brush #8 Round-

 

Dream Catcher #8 Round

http://www.cheapjoes.com/cat/4791/

I highly recommend this brush. It’s the Cadillac of watercolor brushes. It is expensive but well worth it.

 

Utrecht #8 Round 6150—Very good brush for the price

http://www.utrechtart.com/Utrecht-Series-6150-Synthetic-Watercolor-Art-Brush--Rounds-MP19523-i1005297.utrecht

 

Or go to your local art store and get one nice round #8  synthetic brush that has a good point. Don’t spend money on a really nice sable brush for this class. (not that you would anyway!) But you probably need to pay $15 on up for a good one.

Transparent Watercolors: You can use what you have but these are the colors I will be using. Buy as your budget allows. These are Daniel Smith colors.

 Burnt Orange

Mangenese Blue Hue

Quinacridone Coral

 *Quinacridone Gold-This is the most important color.
