This is a 2 day class for watercolor enthusiasts of all stages of growth. Learn how to preserve whites, glaze multiple layers of color to create depth and shadows, and use shadows to create a plastic wrap covering on a red ripe apple.

SUPPLIES:
Colors: Whatever reds you have (I will be bringing more!)  Greens – lean towards the yellow end, or we can add yellow to soften it, a nice mid to darker purple for the background.  I will have plenty of each of the colors I have used to fill in gaps you may have.   Don’t go out buying more tubes unless you really want to.  Yellow and Blue.   Brands and colors don’t make a difference.  We can work with what you have on hand!

Paper – 140lb 100% cotton paper (300lb is also a good choice – but 100% cotton!)  ¼ sheet or 11x 15.  If you want to work larger, let me know so I can enlarge the photo for you.

Tracing paper – I recommend Mona Lisa Graphite Paper as this can be erased or lifted and doesn’t leave a hard pencil/drawing mark.  I will also bring my mini projector if you want to try it!

Colored pen to trace the image onto the watercolor paper (I use a hot pink one to see where I have been!) 

Masking Fluid – your choice – bring what you have – I like the Pebeo Drawing Gum brand because I can see where it is on my watercolor paper. An old brush or ruling pen to apply the masking fluid.  

Other supplies – masking tape, a hard surface to tape your paper to, such as Masonite, plexiglass or foam core board, a stiff brush for lifting paint (if necessary), paper towels, pencil, kneaded eraser (don’t use the pink eraser on a #2 pencil – it will leave marks!), your favorite brushes, mist type water sprayer, water container, your painting palette and most important – snacks and your energy to learn!
