WHAT TO BRING

PAINTS:
A range of professional quality watercolours and a large palette with plenty of room for mixing big washes. Include colours that granulate, if possible. Daniel Smith watercolours are especially effective.
Also bring a tube of white gouache.

INKS: Acrylic pigment inks (not ‘drawing inks’ as they fade and are made from dyes, not pigments) in as many colours as you like, or a set of 3 primary colours and white. Perhaps you could share the expense of these with a friend? Opaque colours are most ideal for the methods in this workshop. Recommended brands are Liquitex, FW and Amsterdam. These all have dropper style lids, whereas Art Spectrum have a tiny hole and are not as suitable. (If you already own AS inks, perhaps you could decant into dropper bottles beforehand. These are available from discount stores)

BRUSHES:  A variety of watercolour brushes in different sizes, including a large wash brush or hake and a rigger (for long lines).

PAPER: 100% cotton watercolour paper, 300gsm in either Medium or Rough texture, at least A3 size. You will be working on 3 or 4 pieces or more at the same time.

OTHER BASICS: GRANULATION MEDIUM – Usually available from art stores that sell any watercolour mediums. This is essential as it provides a lot of the unique texture you’ll be working with.
2 water pots, old towel or rags, tissues, a board larger than your paper, masking tape. 2 pipettes or medicine droppers.  Nib pen if you own one or waterproof felt tip pen- black and/or brown.

STATIONERY: Pen and paper for writing notes. Graphite pencil, eraser and scissors.

TEXTURE MAKING : Jan will share some materials but bring any flat, textured items you have e.g. doilies, bubble wrap, corrugated cardboard, torn stockings, flocked wallpaper, tissue paper, lace paper, hessian, gauze, pressed leaves/flowers etc. Salt and clingwrap make wonderful textures.

OPTIONAL: These extra mediums will be handy, so bring them along if you already own some: Watercolour pencils; Inktense sticks; oil pastels. No need to go out and buy them though.

REFERENCES: Any favourite photos/magazine pictures of landscape subjects for inspiration. Perhaps references for birds, trees, flowers, leaves etc.
