Supply List- Watercolor
Rebecca Zdybel April 2013
These materials are among my
favorites, prices are approximate from online resources. My students are always asking for a list of supplies which they can purchase. If you are interested in investing and not wasting money, I'm sure that if you order from this list, you will not be disappointed by anything you buy. It's very easy to be overwhelmed in Art Stores or purchase the wrong thing and waste your money. I share this list in the hope to help you avoid both. You may follow the links below to order from any of these sites online.
Happy Painting!
I suggest ordering from
Dick Blick http://www.dickblick.com/
Karlyn’s Gallery also has really
nice supplies for cheap https://karlynsgallery.worldsecuresystems.com/shop.htm
Cheap Joes http://www.cheapjoes.com/ shipping is slow from this site, but products are good and prices are fair
Palette/Trays:
White
Holbein Jasper Tray 15.39, white butcher
tray or white plastic plates/trays
My favorite
palette is Stephen Quiller’s Watercolor palette 20.29
Paints: Artist quality watercolors will yield the
most beautiful vibrant results. Student grade
paints or cheap watercolor kits will be duller in quality due to the fillers used to extend the paints and the less expensive pigments used for color.
