Landscape Watercolors
This watercolor class will focus on the traditional landscape with painting demonstrations for skies, water, greenery, and buildings in a relaxed setting.
Supply List
- 11" x 15" Strathmore spiral pad of watercolor paper
- Set of Watercolor paints: The cheap end is a Crayola children’s snap tin or a nice quality set of Winsor-Newton small tube paints. Check to make sure your set includes a tube of Paynes Grey and find your price point between the two options. I demonstrate with the Crayola set and recommend rewarding yourself with better paints as you progress.
- Brushes: set of 5 or 6 synthetic short- or long-handled brushes in the $10–$15 range; they should include a flat ¾"–1", flat 3/8", and assorted sizes to fill out the package.
- Palette: white dinner-sized rigid plastic plate or white vacuum-formed 10" x 13" palette. A watercolor palette should be opaque white plastic or metal, NOT clear plastic.

- Extras: water container, sketch paper (anything), pencil, kneaded eraser, a few soft paper towels, or Kleenex, or soft rag
