WATERCOLORS

Be comfortable to take this class no matter the watercolor set you already have, I'll share some of my favorite pigments and reccomended mixes in the lessons. In case you are reading this before taking the class, these are some reccomendations on what to get but you can take the class with your current set.

My best advice is to start small with 3 tubes (or 6 tubes in the case of Daniel Smith pack) and work your way up from there! Sets are a lot more friendly to begginers but don't have all the pigments.

Winsor & Newton

3 tubes - Professional: Winsor Lemon, Winsor Blue (Red Shade) and Permanent Rose
3 tubes - Cotman: Lemon Yellow Hue, Ultramarine, Permanent Rose
Travel set - Cotman: travel boxes carry yellow + blue as well as other 10 colors but you won't have Permanent Rose

Daniel Smith

6 tubes: Extra Fine Essentials Introductory Watercolor (the primaries sold by DS on Amazon don't have the blue and magenta I advise for this class, the link provided does have the three reccomended primaries)

Other brands and sets are: Holbein, Sennelier, M Graham, Royal Talens Van Gogh and Royal Talens Rembrandt, Prima Marketing Classics palette (12 color Metal tin without pigment names), Reeves wheel set paint kit.

PENCILS

Any kind of regular pencil (aka not watercolor pencils) will do! Soft core will add a more advanced texture but you can take the class using simply 6 to 12 pencils.

BRUSHES

Round brush, minimum size 6
Mop or square (only if you already have it)

WATERCOLOR PAPER

300 gsm = 140 lb watercolor paper
Minimum: 180 gsm mixed media paper (not actually reccomended but enough as a start)

Kiki

Rainbow everything!
