As a medium, watercolor is unparalleled in expressing the translucent, the nebulous, the slippery, and the implied. It is the art of visualizing colored light and manipulating water and gravity-a balancing act between spontaneity and control. The group will work primarily outdoors, with supporting individual and group discussions and critiques. Conceptual strategies (thumbnail sketch, point of view, and layering) for moving an idea from initial impulse to finished painting will be presented. There will be analysis of properties inherent to the medium (the interaction of water, gravity, pigment, and paper) and consideration of various technical approaches to landscape with the aim of furthering a personal response to the medium, and subject matter. Some experience with watercolor is recommended.

Introduction to Watercolor for Absolute Beginners
SUPPLY LIST:
Watercolor paints
in 14 ml. tubes are recommended. The following 8 colors are a minimum basic palette and a good place to begin.
Cadmium Yellow or Aureolin
New Gamboge (or Indian Yellow)
Cadmium Red Scarlet
Alizarin Crimson or Carmine
Ultramarine Blue
Prussian (or Thalo) Blue
Raw Umber
Burnt Sienna
If you wish, next add: Viridian, Yellow Ochre, Cobalt Blue, Lamp Black
As you gain experience with this fundamental palette, you can add more colors. In addition to Windsor & Newton and Holbein brands (readily available), Daniel Smith makes excellent watercolors and brushes, and has a good selection of other watercolor materials (800-426-6740 or www.danielsmith.com).
Brushes
You need two basic brushes. Once you're convinced you want to continue painting in watercolor, get the best brushes you can afford.
1. A large #12 or #14 round brush Big variance in price.
2. A medium-size #5, #6, or #7 round brush Big variance in price.
If you want to work large and wet large areas quickly, get a broad flat wash brush (2” or more) Bamboo Hake or Flat Chinese Hake. These are inexpensive.
Paper
140 lb. cold-press Arches, either in loose sheets (big sheets can be torn down) or block forms. Should you use a block, no smaller than 10” x 14”.
If you are already familiar with 140 lb. cold-press Arches (recommended for beginners and in general as it is the most “forgiving”), feel free to try other papers. Daniel Smith offers a sampler of various papers.
Additional equipment
Mixing trays/Palette: one or more
(also recyclable white plastic food items work well)
Water receptacles: at least 2
(e.g. Tupperware containers fitting inside one another, big jars)
Board (some sort of support for your paper)
Sketching materials (pencils, eraser, clips, sharpener)
Something for carrying supplies (e.g. art bin, tackle box, knapsack)
Roll of paper towels
