| These are suggestions based on what I have on my personal palette, it is not critical that you have the exact same paints....but it helps! If you already have watercolor paints - bring what you have in your paint box and we will see what you may need to add. _______________________________________________________________________ |
Watercolor Paper Arches 140# CP is required for this class.
Full Sheets 22 x 30 may be divided into eight pieces for our exercises. These fit nicely into sheet protectors for your notebooks.
If you like using Watercolor Blocks these are OK too. Susie will have a limited supply of paper available for purchase on class days.
