Materials List:

Carol Govan asks you to bring any drawing materials you are comfortable using. We will go over the pros and cons of various materials in class. The minimum is:

BAC 16 113 – Color Mixing for Artists: A necessity for all artists! Instructor: Susan Fisher

Susan Fisher teaches you how to mix the colors you want, not the ones you end up with through trial and error. Learn an easy system for combining colors consistently to achieve the broadest possible spectrum for any “wet” medium including watercolor, gouache, acrylics, oils, inks, alkyds, or egg tempera. This understanding will help you move to a much higher level of achievement. Color mixing sheets are included.

Materials List:

• Water Color paper: You must bring some inexpensive watercolor paper for practice mixes. You may choose a 9x12 block (size approximate) of 140lb. cold press watercolor paper OR a pad of watercolor paper. There will be exercise sheets available the first day of class.

• Paint Brushes: An inexpensive round watercolor (#6) or buy a Silver Brush, Ltd. Black Velvet 3000S watercolor brush. An old inexpensive brush is good for mixing colors as an additional item to bring. Larger brushes tend to suck up paint and are frustrating for these exercises.

• Palette: I prefer to use the Michael Wilcox Palette. It features the double primary color bias wheel that we use for exercises in this class. (See paint list below)

• Small spray bottle or an eye dropper: for re-wetting paints

• Water container: Bring 2 pint sized containers

• Paper towels: for wiping brushes, cleaning your palette, Viva works best.

• Sketch book: 9 x 12 (size is approximate) notebook or sketching paper for taking notes. (optional)

• Pencil or pen: for note taking

• Paints: Same paints used in Sarah Roche’s “Foundations of Botanical Drawing and Painting” and “Techniques of Botanical Drawing and Painting”:

Presentation date TBD after instructors’ evaluation of your project.

Materials List:

******* Note from Carol & Sarah ********

Research time!!!! Things you might think about before our first meeting:

You don’t have to have anything locked in yet but it would be helpful for you to have some ideas of topics that might interest you for a research project and what the final product would be: paper, presentation, class, etc. The topic should relate to botanical art in some way. You should include illustrations (we will help you technically) or you might even make your own. We will all brainstorm together about any ideas you have. We might lead you away from something that is too broad or expand something too narrow. You’d be surprised and delighted how much fun this is to do as a group. All of us will have terrific suggestions and clues to find various resources. You might even change your mind. So pick something (maybe a few different things) that would really be fun for you to research.
