$ 185  

You will paint both watercolor paintings which are 7” x 15” each. Similar techniques and process will be used to create these flowers with the background uniting them. The step-by step-instruction allows beginner and experienced painters to complete successful paintings. Each time I paint these flowers they turn out a little different and that is a good thing. Yours will be your own unique piece of art. I expect most paintings to be about 90% completed in class.

Materials Fee $ 25 paid at beginning of class includes:

• Written instructions and color photo
• Arches 140 lb cold press watercolor paper (two 15” x 7”) with traced design on it
• Mijello Mission Gold paints used in this painting
• Moo Eraser
• Foam plate/pallet for watercolor paint
• Misc. supplies
 

Supplies Needed  to bring for Class:

• Your usual painting supplies which should include 2 water containers, paper towels, pop up tissues, a fine mist spray bottle for water.
• Brushes: You may use your regular watercolor brushes. I use Scharff 960 Aqua Flow Super Round, Scharff #310 White Nylon round brushes sizes #8 and #4, and a variety of scrubby brushes (Scharff Moon #222 brushes sizes #2, #4, #6, used for corrections and lifting off paint.) I will have Scharff brushes for purchase if you choose.
• Pencil and ruler
• Hair dryer is helpful, but not necessary
• A board to support your painting is helpful but not necessary
