Supplies List: Realistic Raindrops
1. Paper: Cold pressed 140 lb watercolor paper. I use Arches and Saunders. I highly recommend using either of these brands or other high quality paper brands for the best results. Please a 9"x7"piece of paper prepared. Please also have an 8"x11" piece of paper prepared for our technique warm-ups. If you have scratch paper lying around, bring that too! However, whatever you have will work fine no matter what. Bring what you have :)
2. Reference photos: Reference photos will be sent before class.
3. Paint: Watercolor tubes are preferable, but pans will work fine. My personal favorite brands are Daniel Smith, Winsor & Newton, M. Graham, and Schminke.

-
