Description

  • Susan’s suggested supplies...all optional.
  • You may choose to work with whatever materials and paper and brushes you have. We are mining what is inside you, and this cannot be purchased!
  • cold press watercolor block 7 x 10 (I use Arches watercolor blocks)
  • cold press watercolor block  4 x 6
  • Cold press watercolor block 5 x 7
  • A Basic Watercolor set.  I prefer pans of dry pigment rather than tubes but this is up to you.  Do not spend too much money on paints. It will not help you paint better. It may even be intimidating! You can make a beautiful painting with coffee or tea.
  • Small sponge
  • At least three watercolor brushes suggested sizes #2, # 6, and #10
  • bamboo brush used for calligraphy #4 and/or #1
  • Scott towels
  • Sunblock, and hat, portable chair if you are not comfortable sitting on the beach, picnic tables at Fort Zach, or the Reynolds st. pier
  • small notebook for jotting down ideas and comments (journal)
  • small linen watercolor journal - horizontal format
  • camera (optional)
  • plastic jar for water (I use the empty "talenti" gelato jars and have a few extra)
  • maybe a snack.  apple or health bar. Painting (concentrating) always makes me hungry.
  • Supplies can be purchased from Books and Books for 20% off!
