Instructor: Margaret Scanlan

Studio/Location: Painting Studio

Student Materials: Please bring the following: (Required) - Artist Grade watercolors: These three colors: indigo, burnt sienna, yellow ochre. I use Winsor & Newton artist grade tube watercolors. - Artist grade watercolor paper - In fact, you can get by for the entire week with just two 400 Series/Best Strathmore Watercolor spiral-bound pads, 9" x 12", 12 sheets to the pad, but you may already have paper you wish to use. - Brushes - I often use Winsor & Newton's University series brushes, primarily a #4 round for painting and a #2 bright for lifting, but you may bring ANY you wish. - Watercolor plastic palette with 10 holes or more or a travel palette (more convenient as it closes) - A pad for taking notes - Spray bottle for water - Kneaded eraser and pencils - Water container - a few rags (Optional, but potentially very useful for this class) - Ebony pencil - Watercolor painting and drawing supplies you already have. Some of my favorite colors, besides indigo, burnt sienna, and yellow ochre, are quinacridone (sometimes called permanent) rose, winsor blue (red shade), pyrrol red, winsor violet, and winsor yellow. - Drafting tape - A watercolor journal - spiral-bound good quality watercolor paper such as the Strathmore watercolor pad mentioned above. High quality paper and paint can make a crucial difference in what is possible in watercolor. I recommend the following: - In paper, brands such as Lanaquarelle, Strathmore, Arches, Sennelier, and Fabriano artist grade paper. - In watercolor paints (tube paints only), artist (professional) grade Winsor & Newton or Daniel Smith brand. - PLEASE: Avoid student grade paper or paint such as Winsor & Newton's Cotman brand or Grumbacher"s Academy brand, as they do not perform well. Look closely at your watercolor tubes for the telltale Cotman or Academy label.

School Fee & Materials: - Brush sets - Paper towels

Instructor Materials: - I'll try to bring extra 9 x 12 watercolor spiral-bound 400 Series Strathmore pads for students to buy at cost, if they wish.

Equipment Needs: -Needs a white board
