List



Specimen: Students will meet at Fairmount Cemetery the first class session. (Instructions/directions
will be sent prior to the first class date.) Students will tour the roses and receive a specimen/rose
clipping at the cemetery. I recommend students bring: a camera, sketch pad & container/water to
hold your rose clippings.

Drawing Pencils: Leads HB, 2H, and B; sharpener; kneaded eraser

Tracing Paper & Sketching Paper: ~11" x 14" or similar

Water Containers: two

Paper Towels: (VIVA brand is good for absorption.)

Palette: of choice

Watercolor Paper: 140# HOTPRESS (or 300# hotpress if you prefer). You will need: three to five (9
x 12" or similar) pieces for painting exercises and one or two larger pieces for final class painting.
Arches, Fabriano, Twin Rocker and Lanaquarelle Brands are all professional watercolor papers.

Paint Brushes: Watercolor brushes "round"; sizes #2 & #6 or similar; preferably Kolinsky sable.
Here are some good options:
1. Raphael Series #8404 round; (I recommend sizes #2, #4 for this one.) Excellent brush that I use!
(Order at Italian Art Store, below. Or, some sizes available locally at *KOZO.)
2. Escoola Series #1212, round. (at Guiry's)
3. Winsor & Newton Series #7, round. (at Guiry's & Meininger's)
4. Robert Simmons, Sapphire #S85, round. Less expensive substitute for Kolinsky sable
(at Guiry's & Meininger's)

In addition, bring a couple of inexpensive brushes for mixing paint.

Floral Oasis Foam Block: Get the type capable of holding water,
plus a container/vase to support cut flowers.
