| These are suggestions for the beginner just setting up their palettes. If you already have watercolors---bring what you have in your paint box. _______________________________________________________________________ |
| Watercolor Paper Arches 140# CP is recommended. Full Sheets 22x30 May be divided int half or quarter sheets (One full sheet per workshop day) or If you like using Watercolor Blocks these are ok too. Susie will have a limited supply of paper available for purchase. 300# Arches paper is also ok. Other brands such as Winsor Newton, Fabriano Uno are ok too. I don't recommend the less expensive pads such as Strathmore and Canson. These papers are fine for other applications but don't quite cut it for our class.

| Brushes:
Two round brushes with good points and good spring. Sables are ok -Susie uses synthetics like the DS Platnium Series 23-2 #8-#9-#10-#12 these are good choices. If you like using a flat wash brush the DS Aquarelle Flat 72-99 1" or ¾" are good choices A larger wash brush such as Susie’s 1” Cutter Brush (Available @ Daniel Smith or through Susie for $15) |
| If you already have some favorite brushes--bring them!! |
