Suggested List of Materials
Paul’s List of Materials:
I have listed materials that I use. You do not have to purchase these particular materials if you already have your own. Substitutes will do.
Paints: I use Windsor $ Newton professional grade tube paints. There are several brands of professional grade watercolor paint available which are equally as good. Quality student grade watercolors (e.g. Academy [Grumbacher] or Cotman [Windsor & Newton] work OK and are less expensive.
Recommended Colors: Cadmium Yellow Light or Windsor Yellow, Raw Sienna, Raw Umber, Burnt Sienna, Alizarin Crimson, French Ultramarine, Cobalt Blue, Cerulean Blue.
Additional Colors: (not necessary but lots of fun!): Cadmium Red, Permanent Rose, Permanent Sap Green, Quinacridone Gold, Paynes Gray, Permanent White Goauche.
Painting Palette: I use a John Pike painting palette. However, any palette which has a larger-sized mixing area or areas is good.
Brushes: A variety of brushes will work. Here are some I use:
Flats ranging from 1/2 to 2 in width.
Rounds, #’s 6, 8 & 10
A script brush (also called a rigger) for fine line detail.
Watercolor Paper: There are many papers you can buy. Your most cost-efficient means would be to buy a tablet of high quality watercolor paper. I prefer 140 pound Arches Cold Press or Rough paper, either sheets or blocks (stack of paper glued together on the edges). Whatever paper you buy, I strongly suggest you do NOT get a paper that has a shiny appearance to the surface. These can be very frustrating to paint on. In my opinion, it is worth every penny to buy a higher quality paper so you can experience success.
Something to Put Your Paper On: You will need a flat surface on which to place and/or fasten your paper, such as a piece of plywood or tile board, and a 2-3 in prop for under your board (wood block or book, etc. ).
Other Supplies that are helpful (*=required):
*masking tape (I use this to tape my paper to the board)
*#2 or softer pencil
*kneaded eraser
*sketch pad
*sunglasses (helps to see values quickly)
Art Masking Fluid (not necessary)
Spray bottle for water (very helpful)
salt
sponge
