List of materials

Please note that paints and brushes are just a guideline. For beginners a multipack set of Cotman tube watercolours will do just fine. A selection of three different sized brushes is also fine. Eg. A rigger, a mop and a sable.

  • I use big and small mop brushes and pointed sable brushes, mine are mainly squirrel but there are good synthetics.

    My mop is a Neef brush size # 10 (Or nearest size to, whatever you feel comfortable with, it just needs to hold paint and have a point)

    I have a selection of sables and small mops, again whatever you have at hand that you feel comfortable with.

    A rigger or needle point for fine details and lines.

    A 1 Inch Hake brush (approx size)

    A 2-3 Inch Hake brush (approx size)

  • A sketch pad between 250g and 300g, fine or rough, doesn’t matter. Mine is a Mole Skin long landscape sketch pad that’s pages are fine on one side and rough on the other. I do like to use the long landscape pads.
