primary colors and earth tones by Holbein, Winsor & Newton; a few bottles of Dr. Martin watercolors- primaries: red,
blue, yellow and a brown; a couple different papers. Add items as your budget allows. Find in your home a mixing
tray and containers for water.

Dr. Martin Transparent Watercolors (I like both the lightfast and non-lightfast but the non-lightfast may fade. I would try experimenting with both–buy a few of each.) For 100% Lightfast watercolors buy Dr. Martin Hydrus Watercolor set #2 online

Radiant Concentrated Watercolor; online look for Dr. Martin Synchromatic Transparent Watercolor or Hydrus–

I just didn't enjoy this class. The teacher was fine but I didn't like the approach. I didn't go to the last 2 classes.
