Assignment

Your class project is to paint a group of ducks with pigments mixing on the page and lots of white paper. I want you to work quickly and stay loose.

Materials

the reference is mine and can be downloaded directly.

You can use whatever colours take your fancy for this one. I'll be using

Daniel Smith Cadmium Red Scarlet Hue
Daniel Smith Hansa Yellow medium
Daniel Smith Indigo
Daniel Smith Transparent Brown Oxide
Winsor and Newton Yellow Ochre (or raw sienna)
Daniel Smith Quinacridone Violet
Daniel Smith Phthalo Turquoise

Pen

You need a fineliner for this one - not water soluble, you want the lines to stay. I used a copic multiliner size 0.1.

Brushes

I'll be using a round Neef 4750LP size 8 squirrel/taklon mix and two small neef synthetics, 970 round sizes 5 and 3/0.

Arches cold press watercolour paper, 300g

Palette (I use a cheap basic one)

Board for the paper

HB pencil (I didn't use an eraser, just left the lines)

Spray bottle for water (a small one without really violent spraying, gentle is good)

Tissues or paper towel

Jar of water

Sharing Your Work

Please feel free to post your finished painting (or any of the stages) under "Your Project". Questions are encouraged and welcome.

The work you produce is for your own personal use - go ahead and hang it on your wall or gift to a friend but paintings from the class are not to be sold or exhibited.
