Watercolor Supply List

2B Pencil

Kneaded eraser

2 - Rolls paper towels (Very important)

2 plastic containers for water

Painting board - I use a 16“ x 23“ Gatorboard from www.cheapjoes.com – you can clip, tape and or

use a small office stapler and staple paper to it. (I also use a 23“ x 31“ Gatorboard

for larger paintings. Buying the bigger size is optional.)
