SUPPLIES
* 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
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
Raw Sienna
*Quinacridone Gold-This is the most important color.
