| These paint choices are based on what works well together for understanding the basics of color mixing using the Split Primary Palette. For this class it is critical that you have the correct paints. If you already have watercolor paints - bring what you have in your paint box and we will see what you may need to add. _______________________________________________________________________ |
Watercolor Paper Arches 140# CP is required for this class.
Full Sheets 22 x 30 may be divided into eight pieces for our exercises. These fit nicely into sheet protectors for your
notebooks. If you like using Watercolor Blocks these are OK too. Susie will have a limited supply of paper available for
purchase on class days.
