 🌿 Materials List

 

🎨 Paints

Using my usual palette – list will be provided below.

All the colors that I use could be replaced with others.

I would talk about and explain my general approach to colors choice and explain why it is not so important to have exactly the same colors.

Lilac Throated Roller Bird:

  • Opera Pink, Quinacridone Coral
  • Ultramarine blue and Quinacridone Sienna
  • Azo Yellow PY150
  • Cobalt Blue
  • Sepia
  • Shevenginen Blue (Light Blue with White Pigment) could be replaced by Cobalt Turquoise

 

Fairy Wren Bird:

  • Cobalt Blue
  • Any kind of Pink - I have mix of Opera Rose and Quinacridone Coral
  • Sepia - to create dearest darks
  • Ultramarine blue and Quinacridone Sienna - to create neutrals and grays
  • Azo Yellow PY150 

 

We follow the colors on bird, but make sure your colors choice allow you to make neutrals and grays, and also you have an option to create darkest darks of tonal values.

 

🖌 Brushes
  • Hake brush (goat hair or soft imitation) for wetting paper
  • Your favorite watercolor brushes different sizes
  • Brushes I typically use – list attached below
  • It is advisable to have a liner brush with a small diameter and a long hair.
  • It can be a classic liner or you could use Chinese calligraphy brushes of different sizes.    
 
📜 Paper & Tools
  • 100% cotton, cold-press watercolor paper – 12x16” (31x41 cm)
  • Bowl of water
