Workshop Supply List:

Watercolor Strong & Simple with Dan Wiemer

 

Many people already have many supplies, that is fine.  Bring those you can impress your neighbors.

 

REFERENCE PHOTOS:

I want people to bring several reference photos along for painting material. (Photos with strong lights and darks will be easier to work with than washed out photos with little contrast.)

PAINTS:

I am going to list a group of very traditional colors that people should at least have in their palettes.  If you have others you enjoy working with that’s fine, bring them.

Cobalt blue, ultramarine blue, raw sienna, burnt sienna, alizarin crimson (or permanent rose), Sap green, and viridian.  You may have some wonderful new colors to show me!

BRUSHES:

Three or four brushes are really all I use.  A one inch square or larger, a medium round and a smaller round rigger-like brush for small marks. (I try to keep the larger brush in my hand as long as possible during a painting) Again bring what you have.

 

PAPER: 

Sheets or blocks are fine, just make sure it is 100% rag (cotton)  No student-grade paper for your sake and mine.  Student grade paper leads to more frustration and pain than the money you save.  There are many fine rag papers.  I recommend 140# Arches cold pressed for things smaller than 11x15 and 300# for larger formats. (Many artists paint larger than they can handle, so bringing just 140# will be just fine.)

 

 

OTHER:

 Bring a pencil. sketchpad or copy paper. soft eraser (magic rub) or something like a white eraser. a thick sharpie marker.  Clear water container. Roll of paper towels.  Masking fluid and liquid hand soap.  Board or masonite to tape down loose paper.  Masking tape. Thinking cap (you can use masking tape to keep secure).

 

We all have different setup areas when we paint, bring whatever makes you work comfortably. If you have any questions about supplies or the workshop don’t hesitate to call or email me.
