SUPPLY LIST Janet Rogers AWS, Instructor – “Flowers and Portraits in Watercolor”
Dear Students: I look forward to our workshop. Below is a SUGGESTED list of supplies. Hopefully you already have supplies that are the same or comparable. Please call me for any questions - (386)441-4930, or E-Mail: janet@watercolorsbyrogers.com Website: www.watercolorsbyrogers.com
WATERCOLOR PAPERS: I suggest 140lbCold press (Arches), or cold press Fabriano for flowers; and 140lb Rough Arches for portraits. It will be helpful to have extra watercolor paper (could be backs of old paintings, etc.) for painting exercises. Of course, you will also need a board or fomecore to support your painting. We do many paintings, so please bring enough watercolor paper (approx. 2 to 3 ptgs per day – can be ½ sheets).
OTHER PAPERS: A pad of newsprint will be needed in any portrait or figure workshop.
PENCILS: I suggest a #2B pencil for drawing on the watercolor paper, but really love the ebony pencils (or 6B) for drawing exercises. A kneaded eraser and pencil sharpener will be handy.
PALETTE: I use various palettes, such as “Jones Palette”, “Cheap Joe’s ”, “John Pike”, etc. – I also use a butcher tray to make more “puddles”. Palettes should have individual wells plus area for mixing.
OTHER STUFF: Although, I will supply some fresh flowers, feel free to bring some favorites of yours also. Hair dryer (we can share), large container for water (I use a bucket), paper towels (I love Bounty). Please bring photos of people to work from (can be friends, family, someone who interests you or even from magazines – since this is for practice) ones with good lights and darks (shadow shapes). Ideally shadow shapes should should be more than ½ of person. I will also have some photos if you don’t have any you like. Many students will be interested in painting children.
BRUSHES: I like the following: A ¾” “Flat” brush such as Loew-Cornell Series 7550 Wash, a “One Stroke" such as the ¾” or 1” Loew-Cornell Series 7100; "Round" such as Loew-Cornell Series 7700 size 26, and Loew-Cornell Series 7000 size 14; "Ultra Round", Loew-Cornell Series 7020 size 14; a large flat for larger washes, and a 1/2" flat for making "puddles" (such as Cheap Joe’s Wet Momma) I use these brushes, but bring what you have. In the workshop you may try mine to see if you like them before you buy them.
WATERCOLOR PAINTS: I am listing the colors I use the most, but not all of them. Again, don't feel you have to have everything – bring what you have. You may want to try one of my colors at the workshop first. If I have a preference for the brand, I list it.
