IS JUST A LIST OF ALL THAT "I" USE . . .

PAINT
|
|
"I love brilliant color that mix easily, and darks that don't look dirty. . . that is why I use *Holbein! In addition to your
12 – 15 regular colors, make sure to include the five "Holbein" colors listed above. My theory of color is to use the
brightest color available and select a light value and a dark value of each color. "HOLBEIN" has the best color
saturation of any brand. They do not mold or dry out and won’t clog up my spray bottle."
I also use these colors:
|
Brilliant Pink
Burnt Sienna
Cerulean Blue
|
Cobalt Blue
Hookers Green
Perm Aliz Crimson
|
Permanent Magenta
Perm Red
Perm Yellow Deep
|
Perm Yellow Deep
Ultramarine Deep
Yellow Ochre
|
|
|
PAPER
|
|
I prefer *Gemini paper (distributed by Strathmore, made in England). It has a tight weave and strong internal sizing,
which allows for... correcting mistakes with ease, lifting of color, the ability to re-paint over scrubbed areas, liquid
frisket, and my spray bottle/texture techniques. I use both 140# and 300# cold press. Do not use D'Arches for this
workshop, it does not work with my techniques, it absorbs too fast and you can not re-work scrubbed areas.
|
|
FREDRIX CANVAS
|
|
I will do a demonstration one day on the new Fredrix watercolor canvas (18 X 24 OR 16 X 20).
|
|
BRUSHES
I USE
|
|
Natural hair is very important, and Kolinsky Sable is the best: I prefer the long hair and long handle. They flow,
hold more color, release more easily and are a soft touch to the paper. The three brushes listed are the ones I use
90% of the time. I like Stratford and York because they use male Kolinsky (longer hair) and have an excellent
tradition of quality. You don't need a lot of brushes, just natural hair, Stratford and York.
