Transparent watercolor will be used to explore various winter landscape effects. Learn to capture the essence of snow, ice, mist and winter light.

  • People should bring their own watercolor materials.
  • Be certain to include a sketch book!
  • In the interest of uniformity, my materials list follows. It is not necessary to use my colors! Use what you like.
  • Paint – Only tube paints are used. I prefer Winsor Newton Artist Grade
  • Reds – Winsor red; Brown Madder, Cad,ium Scarlet, Opera (Holbein)
  • Yellow – Winsor Yellow
  • Blues – French Ultramarine, Cerulean, Cobalt, Antwerp, Paynes Gray
  • Brushes – Larger brushes are always better! I like synthetic brushes over natural, as they have more snap.
  • I like a 1 ½” flat, filberts in 1/2'” and 1”, Loew-Cornell Ultrarounds in #6 and #10 sizes, and a ½” stroke brush.
  • Paper – Use only 100 rag paper. I like Arches the best in either 140# or 300# weights. It is reasonably priced at ASW.com. You can use a block if you like that, but sometimes you will need to remove the paper for use.
  • OTHER STUFF
  • A board to work on (best if it will take staples,) tape, pencils (#2 is fine), kneaded eraser, large water container, small natural sponge, a palette to mix your paint in. Mine is a butcher tray, but be careful: some have a hump in the middle. This causes all sorts of problems. A Frank Webb palette is very good. A special piece of equipment is the Windex bottle. This should be the PUMP, not the trigger style, and emptied of its contents. You can find one at Deals in Media.
