Sera Knight: materials to bring

Watercolour paints 

Watercolour paper 

Watercolour brushes - several round brushes of different sizes and hopefully not too small - larger sizes e.g. 8,10,12,14

Wash brush 

I like an 1/2 inch and 1-inch chisel brush but this isn’t a must. 

Pencil to draw with, softer ones are better 

Water soluble crayons or coloured pencils are good too

Cardboard/MDF support and masking tape 

Water and pot

Kitchen rolls

Old towels, rags for various uses (not a must)

Hair dryer 

Spray bottle is handy 

Newspaper or old towel to protect the table top, can be messy! 

Old mount board if available or mount board strips to isolate judge the painting 

I don’t use masking fluid but some like it

 

Source material to paint from. 

Jacky Cowdrey

People can bring the materials they are happiest with but definitely pencils or charcoal. We'll start with short poses, then gradually lengthen them over the morning.

Jane Anderson Wood

Bring your usual watercolour paints and materials; however, you will need thicker watercolour paper - 425gms/200lb weight paper. Saunders Waterford paper “NOT” surface - this weight of paper will be available to purchase on the day.
