TAKING THE FIRST STEPS TO PAINTING WITH WATERCOLORS - Robin Avery

Two Saturdays, 
January 12 and 26
9:30am - 3:30pm.    $100

Do you want to learn to paint with watercolors? This will be a beginners’ workshop on two Satudays. You will learn about paints and their properties, types of brushes and their uses and  the different kinds of paper. You will also be introduced to the various painting techniques . We wiil  touch on as many components as there is time such as value, composition and the language of design. We will start out slow and build each week to a clearer and more fun path to painting

Supply List:

  • Plastic Watercolor Palette with a lid
  • Natural sponge
  • Gray watercolor pencil
  • yardstick
  • kneaded eraser
  • Brushes -- fewer good brushes is a better idea than lots of inexpensive brushes. There are many good brands. I prefer Stephen Quiller brushes but use others too. I will let you try out many of mine for you to decide from the first class.
    • #10 round   # 6 round
    • 1 to 2 inch flat wash brush
  • Paper -- Good paper is important. Buy smaller sized paper to start out with. A block of paper will keep you from having to stretch your paper. Arches, Fabriano are good brands. Most people buy cold press 140 weight.  Remember Art Supply on Main gives Wash members a discount and Hobby Lobby's 40% coupon is good for buying Fabriano paper or kneaded erasers etc.
  • Paint -- Less good paint is better than lots of student grade paint. Student grade has a lot of filler in it.  This list includes one warm and one cool paint in each of the three primary colors.  These are needed for successful color mixing.
    • Yellow: Winsor Yellow or Aureolin Yellow
    •             New Gamboge
    • Red: Permanent Rose or Rose Madder
