Materials List

• Winsor Newton Cotman Sketchers Box 12 colours
• Watercolour 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 to buy.
• A palette (not plastic), ceramic is good, a white dinner plate will work
• Paper: pad of Strathmore Watercolour 300 or 400 series and other 140 lb or 300gm cold press wc paper made by Fabriano, Arches, BFK, or Somerset, these are more expensive but worth a try (buy one sheet and experience positive result)
