Supply List

• Winsor Newton Cotman Sketchers Box 12 colours
• Watercolor brushes round #12 or #10, and #6, are all you will need.  Taklon is a good synthetic. Sables are great. All brushes should bounce back to a point or their original shape. Wet them to find out. If they lie flat, not worth the trouble of purchasing.
• A palette (not plastic), ceramic is good, a white dinner plate will work
• Paper: pad of Strathmore Watercolour 300 series (adequate) or other 140 lb or 300gm cold press wc paper or pads made by Arches or Fabriano (better)

For clean up and brush control, rags or sponges are best as a means to control the amount of water in your brush. With a plastic bag for carrying.
