Watercolor, Beginning (incl mat'l for first class)
Item: APW1003 Donna Steinmetz
Day of the Week: F     STC Sarasota Bldg 3 Rm 3-106
Sessions: 5 Location: 4748 Beneva Rd Sarasota, FL 34233
Dates: 1/26/2024-2/23/2024      Fee: $129.00
Time: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM  

Bring to Donna's first class: Paper towels and  a watercolor palette. Palette available from Art and Frame in Sarasota, online from Cheap Joes, Jerry's Artarama, Dick Blick or through Amazon. Palette should be covered for watercolors. More "wells" on a palette allow you to add more colors over time. ACE will have some brushes, paints and watercolor paper for students to use at the first class.

You may want to purchase some paints now due to the recent supply chain issues causing some serious delays. 

 

Pigments – I like paints by the following companies: Holbein, Daniel Smith, and Mission best. Do not use student grade pigments such as Cotman, Academy, and Grumbacher.  Small tubes, 5 ml are fine for Beginners but 15 ml tubes are more economical for those committed to watercolor. 

Minimum required colors are:  New Gamboge (or Nova), French Ultramarine, and Alizarin Crimson or Quin Pink.   

Additional supplies will be discussed at first class meeting. Cost of supplies will be $100-$125, depending on where supplies are purchased & what you already own. This will be discussed at the first class.
