If you have painted before, bring what you have. If you need to purchase materials, buy the best materials that you can afford. The following list can help you get started.
Paint:
There are watercolor sets of "cake" colors and sets with tubes of colors. Watercolors come in "student grade" and "professional grade". You will get better results with "professional grade" paints because they have more pigment and less filler than "student grade." I prefer to use Winsor & Newton tubes.
If you purchase individual tubes of paint, you can mix any color with these three basic colors: Aureolin Yellow, Permanent Rose or Rose Madder Genuine, and Cobalt Blue. It is also good to have Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Red, New Gamgoge, Cerulean Blue, Winsor Green, Winsor Violet or Ultramarine Violet, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber and Indigo.
If you use tubes of color, you need a watercolor palette with a lid. A watercolor palette is a plastic palette with deep wells to hold the pigments and areas to mix colors. If the palette does not have a lid, a piece of foil is a good substitute.
Watercolor Brushes: Synthetic or a mix of synthetic and natural hair work well. I use Pro Arte and Winsor Newton Sceptre Gold.
Flat -- 2", 1" and 1/2".
Round -- #12, #10 and #6.
Rigger -- #4
Fabric Brushes: You can find these in the tee shirt section of craft stores. They work very well for lifting paint without ruining your paper. You need one small round one.
Watercolor paper: 140 pound cold press paper
9" x 12" minimum size. You may purchase paper in a block or in single large sheets which can be cut down to 1/2 or 1/4 for easier handling.
Drawing paper or sketch pad - 9" x 12" minimum size, #2 Pencil and kneaded eraser
A light weight drawing board large enough to accommodate the size of the watercolor paper.
Masking tape
Natural sponge - a small one works well.
Paper towels and facial tissues without lotion or additives

About my Teaching Philosophy
Drawing on my experience as a corporate trainer, I design my watercolor classes with the learner in mind. I recognize that all of us learn differently, and that we are all at various stages of developing our artistic endeavors. Classes are structured with instruction, demonstrations, and lots of painting time.
My teaching style is upbeat and positive. I help students make progress to achieve their goals as artists. I want my students to develop their own style and paint what interests them.
AND I won't paint on your painting. I paint on a sheet of clear acetate that is placed on top of your painting. This allows you the opportunity to make the changes that you want to make.
If you are interested in private lessons, please contact Jane at
