Creating With Watercolor - Beginners

with Kathryn Carter

$149

Join Kathryn Carter and learn how to create stunning seascapes, landscapes, plants, flowers and birds with professional instruction and step-by-step demonstrations. Learn how to select the right materials and handle them properly; color mixing ( to avoid making mud); the use of exciting techniques to capture light and shadow; and much more. Watercolor teaches us to slow down, be present, and enjoy the journey with confidence, gratitude, patience, and joy. Let’s paint!

MATERIALS – 2024-2025

PALETTE Mijello 18-well airtight (Amazon $20). Any covered palette will work.

PAINT I recommend small tubes. Pans are hard to work with. Sets contain colors we do not use and they omit ones we do need. Windsor Newton, DaVinci, Daniel Smith are a few of the trusted brands we use. Colors Cadmium Lemon, Cadmium Yellow Pale, Burnt Sienna, Cadmium Red, Alizarin Crimson, Cobalt Blue, French Ultramarine, Sap green, Titanium white. Additional but optional: Raw Sienna, Permanent Rose, Cerulean, Payne’s Gray

PAPER Arches Watercolor Paper Pad, 140 lb. Cold Press- 9x12.

BRUSHES Synthetic rounds in sizes #2, #4, #6, #8. 1/2” Flat. #1 Liner (optional). Black Velvet brushes are a blend of natural hair and synthetic, hold a good point and lots of paint or water. I use my #8 all the time along with a few synthetic brushes.

MISCELLANEOUS White and kneaded erasers, masking tape (1/2”), paper towels, HB pencils, notebook, kitchen towel, toothbrush, old credit card. I will supply water containers for class use. SOURCES: Cheap Joe’s, Dick Blick, Daniel Smith, Jerry’s Artarama
