WATERCOLOR TECHNIQUES Diana Thewlis Fall 2021 Term

Supply List * You don’t have to purchase everything on this list. Basically just bring whatever you have to the first class. Some additional information will be sent out to those who register for the course.

• Paints: Bring whatever watercolor paints you have and like to use. If you don’t have much or any watercolors and need some ideas, these seven colors will let you mix colors: o A cool yellow – lemon yellow. o A warm yellow – New Gamboge, cadmium yellow, or Winsor yellow deep. o A cool red – permanent alizarin crimson, rose madder, or permanent rose. o A warm red – cadmium red, scarlet lake, vermillion or cadmium scarlet. o A cool blue – cerulean blue, manganese blue hue, peacock blue or thalo blue. o A warm blue – French ultramarine or ultramarine deep. o Ivory black or neutral tint. o Optional, useful colors: cobalt blue, sap green, Winsor green (blue shade), yellow ochre or raw sienna, burnt sienna, burnt umber. • For your information, this is the palette I’ll be demonstrating with, but you don’t need to have all of this. All are Winsor and Newton brand unless otherwise specified. ! Holbein Lemon Yellow ! New Gamboge ! Scarlet Lake ! Permanent Rose ! Permanent Alizarin Crimson ! Winsor Violet ! Holbein Sap Green !

1 • White gouache • Brushes: Bring whatever brushes you have and like to use. You can do most anything with a large round brush that comes to a fine point. If possible, have a variety of sizes and shapes. I use a 2” soft natural hair flat brush, a 1” soft natural hair flat One Stroke brush, a large round synthetic brush (da Vinci Cosmotop Spin size 26), 3 round kolinsky sables, occasionally a small, flat sable or squirrel brush, and a couple of synthetic filberts for lifting and scrubbing out. • A white palette. Bring whatever you have. I use the Jean Jones round palette because it is easy to transport for travel, seals well, and has plenty of areas for mixing colors. The downside: the plastic is not as sturdy as I’d like. • Papers: Use whatever you have for now. I often use 140 lb. Arches cold press and hot press papers. Kilimanjaro blocks from cheapjoes.com are a very good, less expensive alternative. You can buy blocks or sheets of paper. If you buy sheets, you’ll need to cut them and tape your chosen size to a board all the way around. • Miscellaneous: 1 or 2 water containers, soft paper towels, rags, facial tissue, pencils and erasers (I mainly use a kneaded eraser), sponge, spray bottle for water, and Pro Art white 1” wide artist tape, flat board for taping watercolor paper to if you are painting on sheets rather than blocks.
