SUPPLY LIST – *APPROXIMATE RETAIL COSTS
*one may already have some of the supplies

If the group would like, we can have one of the local art supply stores make a group offer for the purchase of some of these supplies at a group discount, similar to the art kits. Our city fieldtrips to Bern and Basel from our Interlaken base will allow us time to explore art supply stores and some of these items can be purchased there with cash or credit card.

2. Palette: $2

Something small. If you already have a small, white plastic
traveling watercolor palette, fine. Otherwise, I would suggest and use a small plastic box, such as a Tupper Ware sandwich container. This can be used to carry your paint tubes and then dumped out and used to hold paint water and the lid for a portable palette. The idea is to keep it light and simple. At the second base with more time and space, we will use some plastic plates for studio situation.

3. Brushes: $40

1. One pointed brush, either a #9 through a #12 pointed brush or a mop brush for small shapes, lines and details. ( Numbers may vary by company.) mop natural haired $26
   
   
2. 2A 1” flat brush with a squared end or 1” round-ended brush. Use of the squared-end will result in more geometric, controlled brush strokes. The round-ended brush will hold more water than the flat-ended brush and will make organic shapes. 1” flat, acrylic $11
   
   

4. Paper Options: $46

The class is going to create smaller daily on-location paintings as well as maintain a diary of notes, sketches and other 2-D found objects. The smaller paintings can either be made up of single sheets of paper torn down from larger sheets and at the same time creating a variety of weights and types of papers or the watercolor paper can be in a book or block format. The minimum number of small paintings will be 20 and an average good size is approximately 9” x 12”. Watercolor paper is available in 90 lb. and 140 lb., with surfaces: hot press (smooth); cold press (some texture); and rough. 5 sheets of #140 lb 2 $4.50 each= $22.50
