 I have a special place in my heart for beginners in watercolor. Beginners need fundamentals: which end of the brush to paint with, what makes watercolor work, how to choose papers, paints, subject matter, how to mix without making mud. Watercolor For the Terrified addresses all these things and more. All it takes is one brush, eight tubes of paint, some good watercolor paper, a palette--and, of course, a certain amount of practice. I'll take you step-by-step through the basics and have you painting from your own sketches and photos before the class is over. Yes, you can do it!
- Brushes: 3/4-1" sabeline or blend one-stroke flat (such as my EC75 3/4" watercolor brush); optional #6 sable or synthetic pointed round brush
- 140# cold press watercolor paper, block, or pad (Arches, Fabriano, or Winsor & Newton); 14"x20" or larger
- artists' tube colors: French Ultramarine, Winsor Blue (Green Shade) or Phthalo Blue, New Gamboge or Indian Yellow, Winsor Lemon or Cadmium Lemon, Alizarin Crimson, Winsor Red or Cadmium Red, Burnt Sienna, Payne's Gray
- white watercolor palette-- 12" or larger with cover ("Speedball" palette is good for beginners.)
Miscellaneous: 2 large, unbreakable water containers; tissues or paper towels, dull pocket knife, HB drawing pencil, white plastic eraser, sketch pad, small natural sponge, spray bottle, drafting tape, hair dryer
