Supplies

Here are the supplies we recommend for all of our watercolor classes. How do I order supplies? It’s easy – we work with our affiliates, Dick Blick Art Materials to provide supplies. Visit the Dick Blick Art Materials site to view our supply list and order the supplies you need. If any products are not available look for comparable items. Another good place to order is Quality Art. Every painting requires the same supplies except that Winter Aspens and Sun Valley Aspens both require the additional supplies of Masking Fluid and a Rubber Cement Eraser. Here is a list of supplies and you can order as many or as few as you want according to your budget and timing needs. Students can share supplies as needed.
