supply list
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO BUYING EVERYTHING ON THE LIST, MANY THINGS MIGHT BE SUBSTITUTED FOR MATERIALS YOU ALREADY HAVE! DON’T HESITATE TO ASK IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
- Watercolor paper (I used 12×18″, Canson cold pressed. But feel free to use hot press if you prefer and whatever size brands you have, (just make sure it can take a lot of water).
- Watercolors: I used Daniel Smith watercolors as I love that many of them are made with ground healing crystal and stones, and have a beautiful granulating effect. But please use what you have and can afford, using similar colors in other brands, or just colors you love. (You will also need small palette to mix colors.) Moonglow (or purple), Myan blue (or a medium blue), Opra pink (or a hot pink), Quinacridone gold (or a golden yellow), Cascade green (or an earthy green), Piemontite (or reddish brown), Kyanite & Amethyst genuine (or a sparkly blue and /or purple for the sky), Rich green gold (or a light bright green), Quinacridone Rose (or a dark pink)
- Pencil and eraser
- spray bottle for activating your palette, water jar, Salt & a straw, Paper towels
- Paintbrushes,(preferably for watercolor) I used a large, medium, and small round from Princeton Neptune (they are wonderful synthetic watercolor brushes) but please use what watercolor brushes you have or can find.
- Color pencils in the same tones you painted in (I used prismacolor pencils)
- I used a pale gray acrylic ink with a dip pen for writing the words on her dress but a normal ink pen or other writing tool is totally fine too!
