Brushes of your choice:
- I suggest having at least three sizes watercolor brushes: No 8 to 14 (all round) and sword brush. Yeliseyev Signature SWORD brush and set of 3 brushes handmade in England by Rosemary&Co is available for purchase online and during the in-person workshops. To see the brushes click here.
- Oil Brushes: short flat No12, long flat No7
Water and water containers.
Spray bottle – small with fine mist.
Artist’s tape or masking tape.
Drawing board or “plexi-glass” sized slightly bigger than your watercolor paper (if you are using watercolor paper in sheets)
Paint palette 10” x 12” or bigger with at least three separate flat mixing areas.
Paper towels and trash bag.
Hair dryer
Sketch book or pad, size up to 8”x 11”
All watercolor sheets/bock should be ROUGH?
Yes, only rough!
I am putting together my water color supplies based on your list. Since I paint the majority of the time in oil, water colors are new to me. I am on the Jerry’s website and I am not finding the “Escoda Perla” Are those Kolinsky?
and the liner brush No 6?
If you could, please be more specific as the brushes come round, flat, liner…a tad confusing as to what to buy.
For the paints I have them in tubes. These are what he uses, correct?
Would you host a class at my house in Laguna Bills
