A Painted Palate | Supply List

Supply List

I really encourage you to reach for the things you have on hand and not go out and buy every single thing on the list.  If you have watercolor paper already, fine. Use it.  Have pens and paintbrushes you like? Yes, use yours.  This is a list of everything I use in the class but please don’t rush out to buy it all.  Watch the videos first and I bet you’ll find that you have most of it lying around.  As far as watercolor palettes, I’m not listing specific colors here because its not about what I like, it’s about what YOU like!  I do try throughout the class to tell you what I am using but you can always substitute for the colors you like.  Let me know if you have any questions!


A 3-ring Recipe Book or Binder of some type – I found mine in a thrift store

I referenced a Chipboard Binder in one of the lessons and sadly, due to the global situation, the company that produced the binder is no longer in business.  Before buying a binder, you may want to watch the videos to see what works best for you, although any 3-ring binder will work.  The one I referenced in this course is 5/5″ x 8.5″ – the same size as the vintage recipe book I found in a thrift store.
