About the Event
Come join me and watercolour enthusiasts from around the world on Friday April 17th 2020 as I take you step by step through a live online watercolour tutorial. Viewers can watch, or join in and replicate the steps while I explain some basic watercolour techniques, tips and recommendations.
If you'd like to join in, here are some items you'll need:
Paper -
36x28cm, I recommend a cotton based paper, 300gsm - personally I prefer Saunders Waterford, Arches, Fabriano or even Bockingford. I use masking tape to keep it still on a board, which also leave a clean, crisp border once removed.
Brushes -
Medium/Large Mop Brush - perfect for big areas such as sky and foregrond. Squirell hair is best as it holds the most water.
Medium Synthetic Brush - something with a fine point for medium sized areas and smaller details
Rigger Brush - a longer thin brush, perfect for branches, railings and long thin lines
Paint -
Chinese White
Ivory Black
Neutral Tint
Grey of Grey (opaque)
Cobalt Blue
Cadmium Yellow
Cadmium Red
Burnt Sienna
Raw Umber
Vandyke Brown
Sap Green
Horizon Blue (opaque)
I mix and match brands of paint between Holbein, Daniel Smith, Schminkie and Winsor & Newton
Other Equipment -
Water Pot - I usually use two, one to wash pigment out of a brush, a 2nd to load up with clean water
Atomiser - a fine mist water spray
Tissue - helps to dry a brush if needed, mop up drips
Hairdryer - to speed up the drying process
Pencil - for preliminary sketch
Palette - with several large wells to ensure enough space for mixing
