SUPPLY LIST

PAPER
I prefer Arches- FRENCH PAPER, 140 LB, COLD PRESS
Some people buy a block, get one that has 11x15” sheets
You can buy full sheets of paper, 22x30”, these can easily be divided into 4 pieces

When you use good paper & paints, your chance of success mounts immediately. Don’t waste money on cheap products.

BRUSHES
Watercolor brushes (not oil or acrylic)
Rather than buying a set in a plastic container, just buy 3 or 4 round brushes. Number 4, 8, 10 or 12 and a large brush24 or 32. Also a script brush is good to have and a 1” flat brush.

You need to attach paper to such as plexiglass or masonite.

Have Masking or Artists Tape

A Large Palette to hold and mix paints
