**This is only a suggested supply list. You are welcome to bring with you the supplies you feel comfortable with and accustomed to.
Brushes:
· Minimum two round watercolor brushes, one size 12(large) or larger, and the other size 6(small). (Nature hair or blend are recommended)
· One inexpensive square head, soft hair hake brush approximately 2 in. wide (similar to picture below)
· One inexpensive ½ inch square head brush for lifting colors
JJ’s palette of watercolors: (I recommend tube colors)
· 2 Red: Alizarin crimson & cadmium red light
· 2 Yellow: yellow ochre & cadmium yellow
· 2 Blue: ultramarine French blue & cerulean blue
· Others: ultramarine violet, burnt umber, cadmium orange (hue), Indigo, Hooker’s green, etc.
Paper for watercolor:
· Daily, we will use quarter-sheets of watercolor paper which means 11”x15”. (A full sheet is 22”x30”, so you can cut full sheets into quarter sheets). The paper weight should be either 140 or 300 lb. cold pressed watercolor paper. Bring plenty of paper for daily exercises and practice. A watercolor block (12”x 16”), cold pressed/140 to 300 lb. will also work fine for the class. (Arches and Fabriano are a couple of the paper brands I can recommend among others).

· One roll of toilet paper
· One old rag(T-shirt, pajama shirt) made of cotton for drying brushesJ (very helpfulfor painting inside)
