Join us in this beginners series to creating beautiful botanical watercolors using QoR watercolors and Ampersand Aquabord. We will create 3 paintings in this series including Daffodils, Daylilies and a Rose. The templates are included for drawing or tracing so no drawing skills are required. The reference photos are copyright free and available in the "resources" tab.In this video I will demonstrate with QoR Watercolors, Ampersand Aquabord and Silverwhite. brushes by SilverBrush. I have included a supply list here with augmentations so that you can use as much of the supplies you have already on hand. **Watercolor:I am using the following materials each time I teach a watercolor lesson. You do not have to use these items exactly but just get something close to or use what you have. Its not that you need special tools or products, just know that results may vary. BrushesI am using SilverBrush Silverwhite brushes ½ Stroke Item #1511S 4 Bright Item #1502S6 Filbert Item #1503S2 Round Item#1500S(see enclosed photo for general guidelines of what the brushes look like and use what you have or get a few that are close to that)**I am using QoR Watercolors in the following colorsCadmium Yellow Primrose (any light yellow in any brand)Nickel Azo Yellow (any version of yellow ochre)Cadmium Red Light (any red light)Quinacridone Magenta (any magenta or alizarin crimson)Ultramarine BluePthalo Blue (cerulean is fine)**Basically just need a light and dark of each primary color. I will talk about other colors nut don’t expect you to have them. We can mix what we need or use what you have.I will be using Ampersand Aquabords (the ones you don’t have to put under glass) and also Strathmore Watercolor paper and L’Aquarelle Canson Heritage paper. Any watercolor paper that is at least 140 lb. will do and all of the lessons can be done in small sizes. 5 x 7 and 6 x 6 etc. ** This is the same paper I use for art journaling so if you are interested in both, you may want to get a good bit and/or a journal of it. (The art journaling can also be done on loose sheets)Message me with questions about what you have or what you need. I am having people place orders with Sam Flax so I can make a final pick up this week. Website is www.samflaxatlanta.com or call 404-352-7200 and ask for Sophia or Rob.
