Beginner
Supply List:
- Any size watercolor paper you prefer, 8X10 and larger works best for this project, but if you prefer smaller, that is fine. I prefer Arches 140lb cold-pressed rough texture, which can be purchased by the sheet or in a block. But any watercolor paper will work.
- Watercolor paint, whatever colors you prefer, but at least the primary colors.
- A couple of different-sized watercolor brushes.
- I will provide masking fluid.
