Watercolor Crash Course, Part 1: Materials

Where I try to share as much experience and information as possible in under 30 minutes. (A supplemental video for my current watercolor class. I thought it might be of interest to you, my online artist friends, as well.) :)

P.S. Stay tuned for a video explaining how to set up the aforementioned field kit, as well as more supplemental class videos.

P.P.S. The regular vlog will hopefully start up again, as soon as the weather warms up a bit more. Thanks for your patience!

CLASS MATERIALS LIST:

-- 140 lb. Cold Press Arches paper
-- No. 10 Round Princeton Aqua Elite travel brush
-- 15 piece Winsor Newton watercolor field kit (see video for paints needed)
-- 2 clear plastic/jar water containers
-- 1 package facial tissues (unscented)
-- 1 sketching pencil (preferably 2B or 4B, but any regular pencil will do)
-- 1 kneadable eraser (I forgot to mention this in the video. Oops!)
-- masking tape or painter's tape
-- A well-lit work surface that can be tilted

Edit: Here's a link to the handout I made regarding Winsor & Newton's pigment names: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VKHs...
