CLASS RECOMMENDED MATERIALS

• Fabriano 100% Cotton 140# Cold Press Watercolor Paper.

NOTE: This paper will be taped onto a water resistant board using Holbein Soft Tape.

• Mijello 18 Well Watercolour palette

• Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolours: I suggest you fill your palette and let it dry prior to painting for easier control. My main select colours for this demonstration are: Naples Yellow, Yellow Ochre, Permanent Brown, Quinacridone Rose, Cobalt Blue, optional: Phthalo Yellow Green, Lavender.

• I use a simple mechanical pencil for drawing and kneaded eraser for softening my lines.

• Prior to my demonstration, (Optional) for the highlights in the eyes and some of the hair strands, I’ll use Fine Line Masking Fluid Pen, Supernib-Fine Tip size 20 gauge.

• A rubber cement pickup will be used to lift the masking fluid.

• My favorite brushes are the Dynasty Black Gold 311 Quill Size 0/2/4 – it’s about the size of a size 10 Watercolor Brush.
