Island in the Salish Sea by Leslie Redhead

Ruling pen (optional) Alvin 958 professional is the best and is found on Amazon New bottle of Art Masking Fluid (Winsor & Newton is the best) Good quality #6 round watercolor brush, a 2' hake or wash brush, and an old, inexpensive brush to use for mixing paint and lifting.ģ small containers to mix paint in (I use laundry scoopers or dollar store measuring cups) Please stretch the ½ sheet onto a board and bring another board for the quarter sheets. I prefer Arches but the most important thing is that it is 100% cotton! Some of the less expensive brands have wood pulp in the fibers and do not work as well. ½ sheet (15x22”) of 140lb or 300 lb of 100% cotton watercolor paper. Permanent Rose (WN)(is same as quinacridone rose) You may use any yellow, red, or blue that you prefer from the suggested list below: Only 3 primary colors will be used for this workshop. I use Winsor & Newton and Daniel Smith brands but any professional brand of watercolor paint will work.
