Supplies You'll Need
To save you money...
Not too much!
If you want to follow Karen and Lucy EXACTLY for all 4 days you'll need a pencil, watercolor paper (either hotpress or coldpress), a blending stump, some watercolors and a cheap fountain or felt tip pen or any water-soluble marker. It's also nice to have a white paint pen or white paint for highlights.
Completely optional mixed media supplies that are fun to use and you'll hear us mention are watercolor markers (like Tombows), acrylics and matte medium, Gesso and Sparkle Mod Podge and even ribbons! You can get as fancy schmancy as you like!!
Links to the exact supplies and colors are provided upon sign-up.
Please note that both Karen and Lucy are big fans of encouraging students to use what they ALREADY have on hand and love. There is NO pressure to buy.
At bare minimum, watercolor paper, a soft pencil and ANY coloring items will be GREAT!
