PAPER
Use good quality paper. Cheap paper will frustrate you when it bucklesseparates or doesn’t give you the results I get. I recommend 140 lb. ArchesCold Pressed, Medium in sheets or blocks. Paper is the most important part of your painting. At Curry’s you can get 5 sheets in a package and this will be
enough to get you through these classes.
PAINTS
It is not necessary to buy all the colours listed below. Since this class is an Intermediate level you will have some hues that you are familiar with and use all the time. What I would like you to include are the earth hues that have an asterisk beside them. Most of the colours in my pallet are Winsor Newton Artist Quality. I also have a couple of DaVinci and Holbein.
The colours in my box are as follows:
Aureolin Yellow
Cadmium Yellow Pale*
New Gamboge*
Cadmium Yellow Deep
Cadmium Red*
Winsor Red*
Alizarin Crimson*
Permanent Rose
Rose Madder Genuine
French Ultramarine Blue*
Viridian Green*

Violet
Yellow Ochre*

Raw Umber*

PALETTE I use a plastic box that folds over and closes.
BRUSHES
Flat wash brushes ¾” and 1”
I use my #4, 6, 8, and 10 pointed brushes the most.
You may like a skinny rigger brush #1
A large inexpensive house brush or Hake brush is good for wetting the paper and doing large washes.
MISCELLANEOUS
Ordinary HB pencil. (Soft sketching pencils mark the paper too heavily.)
Kneaded eraser. This is important to protect your paper.
Container for water and a box of Kleenex.
Old toothbrush, natural sponge
Table or pickling salt and personal photographs
