Watercolor Supply List

Don’t have supplies? No problem! These recommendations will help you get started:

Paints

• Beginner Paint Palettes: semi-moist cake palette (12 cakes, Blick or Amazon) and I just found that Walmart.com has a 12 pan of Yarka Semi Moist Paints which is my favorite for beginners with its vibrant, lightfast colors and large pans and is very reasonable in price! Van Gogh is fine- look for a set that has vibrant warm & cool blue, red and yellow, and a brown and hopefully yellow ochre
• I do NOT recommend 1/2 pan or travel size sets - due to small pan size, they will be harder to work with and more frustrating.
• Tube Paints:
  • Blues: Ultramarine Blue, Cobalt Blue
  • Purples: Dioxazine Purple or Windsor Violet
  • Reds: Cadmium Red Light/Medium Hue, Alizarin Crimson
  • Yellows: Cadmium Yellow Light & Deep, Aureolin Yellow
  • Earth Tones: Burnt Umber, Raw Umber, Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ochre
  • Greens: Pthalo Green (blue hue) or Viridian Green, Sap Green

Tools & Materials

• Paper Towels or plain non lotion tissues
• Water Container (e.g., cottage cheese tub)
• Toothbrush
• Mixing Palette - larger is better
• Brushes:
  • Flat Brush for washes (1–2")
  • Round Brushes (sizes 8, 10, 14–16)
  • Liner Brush
• Watercolor Pad (approx. 11” x 15”, 140#): Strathmore 400 (Fabriano, Saunders, or Arches are great alternatives).
