***IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ*** I will use Canson's cold press watercolor paper, 140 lb/300 g, but students can use what paper they have. Cold press paper has more texture, whereas hot press paper is more smooth. Students are welcome to use either type. If you are unable to purchase watercolor paper, students can use thick sketch or mix media paper. As far as watercolor paint, there are a lot of different brands to choose from. Unless you want to, you do not need to purchase anything expensive. If you have a cheap set lying around the house, students are welcome to use them! I will use a mixture of watercolor brands, some being cheaper than others. If you want to invest in a higher quality watercolor paint, Windsor & Newton is a good option. There are also a variety of paint brushes students can use. Students DO NOT need the exact brushes I will use. If possible, I recommend students having a smaller fan brush, detail brush or very small round brush, and/or shader brush. I use the shader brushes mostly in sizes 10, 8, and 6. There are brush sets with a variety of brushes you can purchase at a reasonable price. Again, please do not feel like you have to purchase a lot of brushes for this class. Even if your student has a single brush, we will make it work. Students may use masking tape or washi tape for the boarders of their paintings. This makes for crisp edges, as well as helping the paper to not warp as bad. I will be using washi tape I found on Amazon. Tape that isn't super sticky is best so there is less chance of it tearing the paper. If you have any questions, or need help, don't hesitate to reach out! :) Pumpkins and Fall Leaves -Watercolor paper -Everyday pencil and eraser -Watercolor paint: yellow, orange, red, brown, blue, green -Paint brushes -Paint palette to mix paint on -Paper towels -Jar of water (to rinse brushes) -Salt (regular table salt) OPTIONAL: white gel pen, washi tape Cozy Squirrel Drinking Hot Cocoa -Watercolor paper -Everyday pencil and eraser -Watercolor paint: yellow, orange, red, brown, blue, green -Paint brushes -Paint palette to mix paint on -Paper towels -Jar of water (to rinse brushes) OPTIONAL: pens, washi tape, colored pencils Autumn Sunflower -Watercolor paper -Everyday pencil and eraser -Watercolor paint: yellow, orange, red, brown, blue, green -Paint brushes -Paint palette to mix paint on -Paper towels -Jar of water (to rinse brushes) -Salt (regular table salt) OPTIONAL: pens, washi tape, colored pencils Autumn Landscape -Watercolor paper -Everyday pencil and eraser -Watercolor paint: yellow, orange, red, brown, blue, green -Paint brushes -Paint palette to mix paint on -Paper towels -Jar of water (to rinse brushes) -White crayon, or colored pencil OPTIONAL: pens, washi tape, colored pencils
