Supply list for Watercolor- Rebecca Zdybel

Supply List for Watercolor        

Rebecca Zdybel   Artmyrtlebeach.com

I suggest ordering materials from cheapjoes.com , dickblick.com, or jerrysartarama.com  online when there is a sale.  KarlynHolman.com also is a great source for art materials. Amazon.com is also carrying supplies now.   The following list is pretty comprehensive.  These materials will allow you to do any of my lessons, however you don’t need everything for each class.  I provide this list, because I am asked all the time about my preferences.  Here they are!  I hope it helps you paint your next masterpiece.    =)                         

Mixing trays: White Holbein Jasper Tray  or white plastic plates/trays  

Palette- to hold your tube paints when you squeeze them out. My favorite palette is Stephen Quiller’s Watercolor palette.  I also like the Robert E Wood 26 well plastic palette  

  

Paints:  Artist quality watercolors will yield the most beautiful results.  Student grade paints will be cheaper, but results will be duller or you'll need more paint- I do not recommend using them
