A Note from Catherine on Art Supplies...

The following is my supply list, but please use any paints or supplies that you enjoy. I don’t believe that artists need to change their colors to suit me. Be sure you have good quality paper and paint.

SUPPLY LIST (items in bold print are preferred)
Arches 140 lb. paper, cold-pressed, a board (to attach your paper to),and art tape (for mounting paper to the board)
OR
One good quality watercolor “block” (Arches, 140lb)

Water container, paper towels, pencil and kneaded eraser, a spray bottle for water

A plastic watercolor palette with a cover to place tube paints in (the Robert Woods palette is great). A very large white china tray or plate can be substituted here.

Brushes: be sure your brushes are good quality from an art store. The only craft store brushes that are usable are the “Simply Simmons” (white handle) at Ben Franklin ($2.99)
One #8 or #9 or #10 or #12 round brush
One 1” flat; one 2” wash brush
Any fine brushes that you like for detail work (riggers, or fine round tip brushes)

Tubes of watercolor paint: I prefer professional grade paints made by Windsor-Newton, Da Vinci, Holbein, Rembrandt, etc. WN Cotman and Grumbacher Academy paints are student grade and won’t provide the transparent color you’re looking for. Buy good quality paints and paper and your product will be first rate! Small tubes are fine: bring what you have and you can fill in later. Please try to have the bold, underlined colors.

The closest “real” art supply store is the Studio Art Shop at 2033 S. Pleasant Valley Road in Winchester. Call them at 540-665-2787 for directions and information. Many of their supplies are discounted for my students. You can also order from any online shops but watch those shipping charges:
