MATERIAL
This is all that I need to paint.
I have bought a plastic tub from B&Q, I have marked it as Watercolour AS I got another one I use for Acrylic, I do not want to mix them. The water must stay pure and must not be mixed with other medium while working with watercolour.
Plenty of tissue paper
Of course my palette, I do not need a mixing tray, I have enough with my small palette, for big areas I mix my colours on the paper.
A staple gun to fix the paper on a board.
Masking tape to fix around the paper.
A fine spray bottle.
Sponges of all kind.
Masking fluid.( I like to buy the SAA blue one and Jackson or Ken Bromley art make an excellent one too)
My palette
A "B" or HB pencil for fine drawing marks on the paper
A soft eraser.
A drawing pen and an old toothbrush for applying masking fluid
Ear buds
And of course my paper either Arches or Saunder waterford. I like to keep small pieces to make trial of my colours before applying them on the work.

ear bud to soften hard edges. Far better than a stiff brush! |
