A Colourful Fall Workshop

• With colourfull fall leaves at hand, we’ll create a seasonal motif to reveal the magic of watercolour transparency with overlapping layered elements. This class will appeal to beginners with some basic watercolour knowledge and more advanced painters who’d like to expand their repertoire. Masking fluid and watercolour pencils will be supplied for experimentation.

Here is a list of suggested supplies:

• A selection of fall leaves
• 2 sheets of good quality watercolour paper 8″ x 10″ pr 9″ x 12″, as sindividual shets or in a watercolour block.
• 3 brushes – #8 or #10 round, 1/2″ flat and mop brush or similar. Optional…one OLD brush for masking. Dianne will have lots of extra brushes.
• 1 sheet 11″ x 14″ plexiglass, veneer, canvas board panel or other flat surface for securing watercolour paper.
• 6 basic primary colours as block or tube. Note: there is a wide variety of colours available. If you can’t find these, bring what you have: Lemon yellow (cool yellow), New Gamboge (warm yellow), Pyrrol Scarlet (warm red), Quinacridone Rose (cool red), French Ultramarine (warm blue), Phthalo Blue (cool blue)
• Palette suitable for mixing colours (enclosed palettes are perfect but a plastic plate will work).
• Water container (tall yogurt containers or other larger plastic container).
• Old toothbrush (optional but might be fun).
• Soft rag and/or paper towel
• 5/8″ or 3/4″ masking tape (house painting tape).
