Below is an art materials list for the beginner. TIANA'S ART MATERIALS LIST * If you are coming on a taster day, basic water-based paints in the colours of the rainbow will be adequate. To attend one of my watercolour courses it is advisable to collect the various colours suggested, but as this can be quite costly a more limited palette can initially be used and added to gradually. Pigments in italic are not essential at the beginning of the course. Students may wish to purchase them later to complete a wider range of colours. Tubes are recommended if buying for the first time. Depending on your budget you can purchase artists' quality paints from the Winsor & Newton range or student quality in the Cotman series. Core watercolour range: RED Cadmium Red, Alizarin Crimson, Light Red YELLOW Cadmium Lemon, Cadmium Yellow, Yellow Ochre BLUE Cerulean Blue, Cobalt Blue, French Ultramarine, GREEN Viridian, Hooker’s Green EARTH COLOURS Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Raw Sienna. When choosing your paper, touch feel the surface. I recommend the papers below. WATERCOLOUR PAPER Bockingford 140lb CP (NOT) White. This English watercolour paper is traditionally made at St. Cuthbert's Mill in Wells, Somerset. Appreciated for its excellent colour lifting abilities, this is an extremely forgiving paper valued by professional and amateur artists.
