Working from a Photograph in Watercolours
Suggested Art Supply List

Instructor: Jessica Milne

 Photo references will be supplied, but feel free to bring your own. My demonstation for this class will be a landscape.
 
This supply list is a suggestion only, to give you an idea of the colours and materials I use.  Please bring your own palette and brushes that you would normally use.  A selection of primary colours, and burnt umber are useful. 
 
Paints – I use a good artist quality watercolour like Winsor Newton (WN) or M Graham.   Some of the colours listed are Winsor Newton (WN), but any brand is fine. Please note that different brands can be used together.  Here is a list of some the main colours I use:
 
Permanent Rose (red is cool, not orange)
French Ultramarine
Primary Yellow such as WN Winsor Yellow
Burnt Umber
WN Winsor Blue (Green or Red Shade)
Quinacridone Gold
                 
Brushes – Please bring what ever you would normally use.  Here are some that I use;
Variety of rounds such as; series 700, #5 or #6  and # 8 or #10
Angle brush series 725, ¼”
Flat, series 968, 1“
Filbert, series 620, size 4
Filbert, series 880, ¼” – ¾“
 
Misc -    Palette with lots of flat areas for mixing, one with a lid is preferable
