Recommended Watercolor Class Supply List

This list is ideal for those attending a guided class or a class where supplies are not provided. Each class offered is different. Carefully read each class description. Please bring these items if you’d like to use your own supplies.

✅ Student Supply List:

(For students who need to bring their own materials, per class description)

• Watercolor paper – Cold press, 140 lb (preferably 6×9″ or 9×12″, 1–3 sheets or a pad)
• Watercolor paints – Basic set (with at least a warm and cool of each: red, yellow, and blue) or 12-pan palette
• Brushes – One small detail round, one large detail round, and one flat brush with at least a 1/4″ width for broader applications.
• Water container(s) – I recommend silicone collapsible travel cups, but plastic cups work also.
• Mixing palette – Plastic palettes are recommended for traveling with.
• Paper towels or shop towels – For use in absorption, blotting, and cleaning.
• Pencil and kneaded eraser – For light sketching.
• Clipboard  – To keep watercolor paper flat and use as a firm backing.
• Masking/Painter’s tape – To adhere paper to backing.

OPTIONAL:

• Sketchbook – Less expensive paper for making quick value studies
• Watercolor pencils – Excellent sketching tools whose lines will fade into the background. Reduces the need to lift, but also may be harder to remove.
