If you'd like to join in, here are some items I'll be using - don't worry if you don't have these, it's just a guide for your reference:
Paper & Brushes
Paper - Personally I don't have a favourite brand, but I do use mostly a "Not" finished paper and buy the heaviest weight I can afford at the time. names / brands that come to mind are Seawhites/Jacksons/Bockingford/Saunders Waterford/Lanfgton just so many - steer clear of £1 land watercolour pads that are like blotting papr. I tend to stretch my paper to a board, it's really easy watch my video here. Brushes - I surpisingly use few brushes - favourites / most used revolve around Terry Harrison brushes available online - Medium/Large Mop Brush - perfect for big areas such as sky and foregrond. Squirell hair is best as it holds the most water.Rigger Brush - a longer thin brush, perfect for branches, railings and long thin lines - the most important brush of all used to tighten and finalise our painting - invaluable.
Paint - a good starting out set and my favourite are the St Petersburg lasts for years simply top up from tubes as you need to. but a good pallette should contin Cobalt Blue Ultramarine Blue Yellow Ochre Burnt Sienna Raw Sienna Raw Umber Sap Green Alazarin Crimson Any Red you fancy. Chinese WhiteOther Equipment -Water Pot - I usually use two used large yogurt tubs.Atomiser - a fine mist water sprayRoll of Tissue - helps to dry a brush if needed, mop up dripsHairdryer - to speed up the drying processPencil - for preliminary sketchMasking Fluid -Palette - with several large wells to ensure enough space for mixing
