Dear Lynne,

Here is a list of watercolour requirements for the course I will give Baasa, on 15th Sept. 9a.m to 12a.m.

I will give a short demo on drawing two of my favourite flowers. Strelitzia reginae, and Erythrina caffra.

I will show how to prepare a composition on tracing paper, and then transfer this on to watercolour paper, and start to apply watercolour washes. 

Some people may have a different flower of preference which they may wish to paint. This will be fine because the same rules will apply.

Requirements for the course : 

           2 Imperial size sheets, 300g or more of smooth watercolour paper

           2 large sheets of tracing paper.

           2B or 3B pencils

           Sharpener

           Putty erasor

           A board to lean on

           Masking tape

           1 soft pale brown pastel stick

           1 marker pen

           Brushes - Filbert brushes 2,3,5, and 8.

           White palette - polystyrene trays or white saucers are acceptable

           Watercolour paint - Winsor and Newton or Cotmans.

           Plant material of your choice

I am very much looking forward to seeing you on this course on Saturday, 15th September.

Sincerely 

Anne Cleveland
