Materials that you will need for ‘Water Lily’ lesson

​​​

• Acrylic paint colours: minimum: blue, yellow, white, red. I use: yellow ochre, cadmium yellow, cyan & ultramarine blue, cadmium red, black, & titanium white.

• At least 2 paintbrushes: a large & a small paint brush (a small household paint brush can be useful

• Something to paint on either: a canvassed panel, acrylic or watercolour paper, a primed piece of wood, a supported canvas, or cradled wooden panel.

• A piece of paper or sketchbook – for the composition exercise.

• A pencil, or chalk, or carbon paper & biro (use just one of these depending on which method you chose to sketch your flowers on with)

• Blue tac (if using carbon paper) or Sellotape/masking tape.

• greaseproof paper/ paper – (if you want to use to protect areas of your work)

• A print of the reference photo/ or view on screen.

• A straight edge – old ruler, cardboard, old debit card or decorating tool (for optional mark making)

• Blue or kitchen roll.

• A jar, or pot for water.

• A palette, or greaseproof paper.

• A hair dryer (to work at a faster pace).

 

Remember to protect clothing and surfaces with covers, an apron or old similar.

Acrylic paint is like glue, once dry it cannot be removed.
