Supply List

This is my basic list of supplies. I like to use American Journey and DaVinci paints. Winsor Newton is also a great brand and Grumbacher Academy is an excellent inexpensive brand to start. It may be necessary to use a catalog to obtain all needed supplies. I recommend Cheap Joe’s Art Stuff (1-800-227-2788 or www.cheapjoes.com) as they have a big watercolor supply selection and knowledgeable people to help with selecting items. If you are unsure about what to purchase, we will discuss supplies and answer any questions at the first class.

  • Lemon or Hansa Yellow (cool yellow)
  • *Don’t buy Lemon Yellow (Nickel Titanate)
  • Permanent Rose Quinacridone (cool red)

  • Any other colors you may have
  • Aureolin or Gamboge (warm yellow)
