For this course you will need:

  • Sheets of watercolour paper – at least 140lb Not/Cold pressed surface. Please use good quality paper, as it will repay you thrice over.

  • Watercolour paint - a good basic selection of a warm and cool primaries (yellow, red, blue), plus Burnt Sienna or Burnt Umber. I prefer and use tube colour, but if you have pans, that is not a problem. I encourage you to swap colours around, so if you do not have the colours I am using that is no problem and will make the painting more individual

  • A large round brush 16 and a medium round size 8/10, a rigger size 2, a small flat brush is good for lifting colour and correcting mistakes

  • Salt, cling film/Sarin wrap if required

  • scrap paper for planning, old paintings to use the backs of....

  • Hairdryer (to aid drying)

  • Two pots of water

  • Pencil and eraser

  • Water spray bottle, kitchen towel

  • print outs of reference material supplied 

  • Enthusiasm and the desire to learn!
