Other Details

Supply List
Because of the nature of watercolors, thick bodied paper, or watercolor paper works best for this class.  Each class we may use one or several sheets so a book of watercolor paper is recommended.  Also students should have a basic watercolor cake palette which includes at least the basic primary colors and secondary colors.  A range of brush sizes is recommended as well, including at least one skinny, or thin brush for detailed marks, one medium size (approximately 1/4 inch), and one large size (1/2 inch to 3/4 inch).
Paper towels, a rag or tissues to wipe up excess water and a cup for painting water.
*(Several classes will require extra preparation outside of class which will be noted in advance)
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
