WHAT TO BRING TO WATERCOLOUR CLASSES:
Paints: You will only need 3 tubes of watercolour paint for my lessons as I will show you how to make a palette of 12 colours from those.
My preferred brand - MaimeriBlu in the CMY primaries (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow). I can explain alternatives in the first lesson. Otherwise,
bring what you already own. I am happy to share my paints for the first lesson and give you a better idea of what to buy.
Paper: Only 100% cotton watercolour paper is suitable, preferably in 300gsm weight. Paper that is not marked as being 100% cotton is incredibly frustrating to paint on and you won't get the desired results. Common great quality brands are Arches, Saunders Waterford
and Fabriano. You will need a pad or block at least A4 size.
Brushes:  One fine 'round' brush and one larger is enough to get started. You will also need a larger 'wash' brush or 'hake'.
Palette: I recommend a large plastic palette with a lid. It needs to have at least 12 wells to hold the colour mixes you will make.
I may have a palette you can purchase, so please inquire.
Other necessities: A 2B or B pencil and a kneadable eraser. One sheet of graphite transfer paper. Tissues and an old hand towel or
face cloth, plus 2 containers for water. (1kg honey or yogurt tubs are ideal.) A roll of masking tape, preferably Washi tape or Scotch 3M Magic Tape,  A sturdy but lightweight board slightly larger than your paper would also be handy.
ALL OF THE ABOVE WILL BE SHOWN AND EXPLAINED IN THE FIRST LESSON
Looking forward to seeing you there! Jan
