These are the items you need to arrive with for the first class1.
1You do not need to buy the exact items linked. Any local art shop or other online store has comparable items that will perform great for you.
You have a choice of 2 different painting options:
- Option 1 is tube paints – this is for painters who want rich color and work on larger paintings and easier to mix up larger amounts of color.
- Option 2 is pan paints – this is for painters who want easy transport and faster cleanup.
Required Items – both options
- Pencil (1)
- Kneaded eraser (1)
- (1) 9″ x 12″ pad of watercolor paper, 90lb weight, minimum 30 sheets. The recommended pad of paper has 25% cotton per sheet, the cotton is great for beginner success. You can try less inexpensive paper however, many students have less desirable results in their paintings with ‘pilling’ of the painting surface.

- Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolors Compact Set
- Winsor & Newton Cotman – Intense Blue (Phthalo Blue) 8ml – I know this is a tube paint, but this is a superior paint to the Cerulean Blue that is in the compact set, so I do recommend as a separate purchase. I will instruct in the first class how to put it in your compact set for easy use.
