Watercolour On Location 2019 Materials List
Materials required for the course
There is no set materials list for this course but these are the minimum requirements:
- your normal watercolour kit
- your normal brush
- your normal sketchbook
- a pen with permanent ink (a fineliner or fountain pen)
Grey markers
The only special recommendation for this course is to have some markers to create a 5 step-value scale. Refer to Introduction Part 5 for more information.
Recommended markers:
- Pitt Pens: Warm Grey 272, 273, 274 and Black 199.
- Tombow: N75, N65, N45, N15
Note: A minimal marker option would be to purchase a black marker and a mid-grey water-soluble marker. Tombow N65 or Ecoline 718. You can achieve the 3 greys by layering it to create dark grey and adding water to get light grey
