Class Description

Description

Get inspired by lush fruits, veggies, flowers and more to create graphic illustrations!

Develop your own style while building technical drawing and painting skills with watercolor and inks, with an emphasis on composition and cropping. Explore, experiment, build confidence and skill!

Supply List
  1. Brushes: Rounds only (no flats/filberts). Sizes: #4, #6 #8 #12/#18 . #1 or #0 for finest details. Current favorite brands of mine: Princeton Velvetouch, Princeton Neptune, & if you want a real fancy brush (and are not a vegan/vegetarian, because they are made of animals): Kolinsky Round.

    An additional large, flat brush for washes 1", 2" or 3". (could be cheap, hardware-store brush)

  2. Watercolor paint. Choose one: a set of dry watercolor OR tube paints:

    I recommend to start learning with a dry watercolor set, not tubes.

    Yarka (St. Petersburg) Professional Watercolor set, 24 colors, original palette. It is my brand of choice, I have been using it for years, and it lasts a long long time. Other good brands: Winsor & Newton, Van Gogh, Daniel Smith. M. Graham’s.

    Don’t buy paints that are too cheap. Pigments tend to be so watered down and the colors are washed out.

    **IF buying tube paints and not dry/pan watercolor set, here are recommended colors to purchase:
  • Cadmium Yellow/ or cad. light, Lemon Yellow, Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Red /or car. red light,Ultramarine Blue, Prussian Blue, Sap Green, Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ochre, Quinacridone red, Cad. Orange, Sepia.

    3. Palette: (especially needed if you're buying tube paints. The dry sets normally come with a palette)

    I recommend a palette that has a lid, and that is larger (9x12 or larger, with indents for the paint).

    4. Watercolor Paper: Pad or Block. Size: 9"x12” or larger. Brands: Arches is the best. Also good: Canson, Strathmore, Fabriano, and Blick generic. Look at the paper weight: 140lb or higher. (Anything under 90lb will warp). Get a pad of at least 20 sheets. You can buy separate sheets and cut them down to a desirable size.

    5. Small sketchbook with heavy paper for sketches and experiment. I recommend Aquabee.

    *Optional: a small, travel size watercolor pad to carry with you.

    6. A container for water. With lid is recommended, especially if you intend to paint outdoors. (Glass jar, plastic container etc).

    7. Rag or paper towel. Fabric rags are highly recommended as it can be reused for years and save the planet. They sell "bags of rags" and home depot, or an old cotton T-shirt works great too!

    8. Drawing tools: pencil (Soft, B2, B4 or higher). Erasers: kneaded and plastic, and a sharpener.

    9. Masking tape.
Optional materials:
  1. Masking Fluid, wax crayon, salt (for resists).
  2. Pen and ink, graphic pens, waterproof pens, non-waterproof pens etc.
  3. Watercolor pencils or crayons
  4. Digital/phone camera for photographing subjects you didn't have time to finish.
