Price is $285 per person
Below are the supplies you’ll need for the class. You can also opt to have a kit ready for you at the first day of class for $95 (please email in advance to reserve your kit).
Supplies list (with links to amazon):
- Brushes (for watercolor) I recommend getting at least a size 6 Round, size 2 Round, and a 1/2″ Flat, Filbert or One Stroke
- 100% Cotton Watercolor paper, 140lb, cold pressed. A 9×12 or similar sized pad or block should be plenty.
- Paper towel roll
- Pencil: (preferably an HB)
- Extra Soft Eraser
- Kneaded Eraser
- A mixing palette–plastic or ceramic
- A watercolor set (Winsor & Newton Cotman will work just fine for beginning, or you could upgrade to Professional or Daniel Smith) in either liquid tubes or pan form
- These last three are a fun addition but not necessary
- Artist tape–might be fun to bring as well. Won’t be necessary but you might enjoy framing your paintings this way.
- Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen (S) or ultra fine tipped Sharpie
- Masking fluid
Class will be held at our art studio on Alisal in Solvang.
Class is limited to 12 students and will require a minimum of 6 to be conducted.
