Materials List

While we will supply each participant with necessary equipment and materials, we provide this list because you may want to:
1. have your own equipment.
2. get started practicing now or
3. know what you'll be using.

Your materials kit will include:
1. Pencils (2H, HB, 2B)
2. Erasers (kneaded and plastic)
3. Sharpener
4. Sketching Paper
5. Drawing Paper
6. Viewfinders, small and large
7. Tracing paper

9. Set of watercolor brushes. #8,#10 rounds and 1/4", and 1" flats
10. Watercolor paper, Bloc
11. Watercolor paper, sheets
12. Watercolor Postcards

Please bring your own drawing board for use in the field. An 18" x 24" masonite board will do nicely.

We will make available equipment and supplies such as masking fluids, specialty brushes, tapes, clips, sponges, etc. So pack just what you want to have to supplement your kit. Get a sketchbook or small watercolor journal going before you leave! Start sketching and painting. Warm up! If you want to buy a small set of watercolors, always buy good quality paints; it's worth the additional expense. If you don't have the confidence to draw or paint, just doodle...but do look at your surroundings. Choose something and doodle, scribble, sketch, crayon or paint onto any paper or surface at all!
