Wednesday 4-6pm
Suggested Art Supplies
Canson XL watercolor paper, 140 lb, 9" x 12" (I also experiment with other sketchbooks, but I tend to use larger sizes)
Sailor Fude de Mannen fountain pen (or similar)
Uni-Ball Impact Bold 207
Staedtler Fine Liners
INDArt saturated watercolor inks
Quality watercolors in a travel pan set (Daniel Smith)
Quality watercolor brushes
Pentel brush pens
Platinum Carbon Ink (for fountain pen and brush pen use)
Sun hat and sturdy walking shoes
Pencil, gum eraser, salt, scrapers, bleed-proof white, water bottle, paper towel
Tiny stool for sitting (completely optional). I use the Cooseon 10" folding stool, which folds up nicely and fits in my backpack, but others prefer the Walkstool Comfort.
Bring any additional art supplies you prefer.
I’m your host, Meagan Burns
