PAINTS
Although artist-grade watercolors can be pricey, I highly recommend investing in a set. They last forever and produce significantly better results than student grade. Consider finding friends to share the tubes! The more the merrier!
- Daniel Smith Tube and Stick Watercolors
- Greenleaf Blueberry Pan Watercolors
Although Danielle prefers the brands above, there are others that will produce high-quality art:
- Sennelier Pans
- Winsor Newton Artist Grade
- Winsor Newton Gouache
- Hoblien Gouache
- Hoblein Acryla-Gouache
- Liquitex Fluid Acrylics
PAPERS
The type of paper you use is equally as important as the watercolors. It can make your work shine, or make it impossible to love. My choices seem to change all the time so check back often to see what I am using IN THE STUDIO now!
- Canson Heritage Watercolor Block (14o# cold press
- Canson Moulin du Roy (140# cold press in full sheets
- Fabriano Tiepolo Printmaking Paper (full sheets)
