Materials List - outdoor
With instructor Pat Fairhead at the Muskoka Place Gallery

Colours: I prefer Artist Quality watercolour, acrylic, or water soluble oil

I buy colour by the quality of the pigment, intensity, transparency and permanence, and suggest this list to you:

• lemon yellow      
• cadmium yellow medium
• cadmium red medium    
• quinacridone magenta     
• ultramarine blue  
• phthalo blue        
• phthalo green      
• burnt sienna        
• gold ochre or transparent gold ochre
• black – ivory
• white - titanium

          
Plus  - anything that you have!

Brushes:     acrylic brushes are great, natural hair is best but expensive

                   Selection of rounds and flats – each medium has its own
                   Watercolour/round brushes – include Big i.e. #20 and a flat wash brush
                   Acrylic & oil – keep them separate – round & flats – at least 1 Big
