STUDENT SUPPLY LIST for WORKSHOPS (And Virtual Classes)
​*These supplies are not necessary for every class

           Any size sketch book, markers or pencils.
  • Watercolor paper (Don uses Arches Cold Press or Rough 140lb.) Most of Don’s demos are quarter or half sheets.
  • Students are encouraged to work at any size they wish but have plenty of paper on hand.
  • One easel per student (preferably a table easel, Don uses a French Box easel from Cheap Joes Art Stuff) as we will be working on a slant
  • of about 25 to 30 degrees. You can also improvise, leaning your board against something, as long as it is secure, and not at
  • too sharp an angle…
  • The usual watercolor supplies: Palette, (butchers’ tray or large mixing tray is also helpful) paint, brushes, water container, paint board with clamps, paper towels, etc.
  • Several photos, sketches or other source materials for class study. Don will also have photos available for students to print if they wish.
 
                 WATERCOLOR PAINTS AND BRUSHES
​
  • NOTE: Don presently uses Cheap Joes and Robert Simmons synthetic white sable brushes, although other brands are fine.  Round brushes include sizes 36, 26, 14, 10 and 8.  Flat brushes include 2”,1 ½”, 1” ½”, ¼”. He does recommend having a big, medium and small of both flat and round brushes. Lately he’s been painting half and quarter sheets as well so adjusts brush size accordingly.
 
            Don is often asked what colors he has on his palette so we are providing a list of what he currently uses, though it’s not important that students have the same colors.  Don emphasizes that you should have at least 2 lights and 2 darks of all the primary colors. Most professional brands are interchangeable and include Holbein, Winsor Newton, Daniel Smith.  Don currently uses American Journey watercolors from Cheap Joes Art Stuff.
