https://www.skillshare.com/profile/Katherine-Rodgers/3174058Paint a small 8x8 watercolor painting of three spoons using only 7 colors from your palette.

MATERIALS:

- watercolor paint (does not have to come from a tube) in the following colors:

Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Orange, Cadmium Yellow, Yellow Ochre, Quinacridone Gold, Burnt Sienna, and French Ultramarine

- 1 piece of Cold Press 140lb watercolor paper about 8x8 inches or slightly larger

- Masking fluid with silicone nib for application and rubber cement pick-up eraser

- size 10 round tip brush with a good point (or smaller #4 or #2 for details if your brush does not have a strong point)

- scrubber (optional)

- plastic spoon - any white spoon or colored plastic spoon will work

- pencil/eraser for sketching

- water container

- paper towels

Tips for Using Masking Fluid

Only use it on dry paper
Allow it to completely dry before painting over the area
Allow your painting to completely dry before removing the mask
Never use a good paintbrush to apply, use a silicone nib instead or something that can easily be cleaned
Do not put your applicator into your water container to clean. Just clean with a paper towel

Tips for Using a Scrubber

I only use it on dry paint using clean water to agitate the area to lift off mistakes or highlights
Scrub in one direction and blot with clean paper towel
Less is more so go lightly and gingerly
Best on cold press paper
