Supply List for Watercolor

This list is just a suggestion to get you started. Buy the best quality your budget allows

PAINT:

A good starting point for paint is using a basic limited primary palette, one that includes one warm and one cool of each primary color.

Suggestions:

Blue:

Ultramarine or Cobalt (cool)

Cerulean, Prussian, or Turquoise (warm)

Sepia, Burnt Sienna, or Payne’s Gray

BRUSHES:

A couple of round brushes with a good point, in a medium and smaller size. Suggestion: Size 12 and Size 6A

flat brush at least 1 inch wide other brushes – detail/liner brush and a small flat hard bristled brush for scrubbing

PAPER:

My preference is Arches #140 Cold Press 100% rag in a block Paper is an investment, it can be pricey.

Use those Micheal’s coupons! Brands to consider: Arches, Strathmore, Bee, or Fabriano
