Constance Black Materials List:
Traditional
watercolor pigments or acrylic paint may be used.
Suggested colors are Lemon yellow, cadmium yellow
medium, cadmium orange, cadmium red light, cadmium
red medium, alizaren crimson, majenta, cerulean
blue, cobalt blue, ultramarine blue, viridian, emerald
green, yellow ochre, burnt sienna, and a small tube
of acrylic titanium white. You may substitute a
set of watercolors or acrylics if you prefer. They
usually have a balanced array of colors. You will
need a palette. The best kind is the covered variety
because it will keep your paints from drying up
especially if you are using acrylic medium. For
traditional watercolor you will need a large brush,
#11 or #12 for washes.You will also need a smaller
brush for finer detail. You can use eithor a round
or a large flat brush but it should contain some
red sable. For acrylic most kinds of brushes will
do but bring a variety of sizes. For paper I would
recommend watercolor paper in a pad. There are several
kinds. The finest is Arches 140 lb. but it is expensive
so I would recommend a pad of strathmore or a less
expensive paper for practice. Acrylics can be used
on paper, board or canvas. You will also need a
jar or small container for water which has a tight
lid.
