Join us for a Watercolor Seascape with Amie Ziner.

BYOB and a snack to your personal workspace in this FREE virtual event.

Materials list:

Watercolor paper, at least 9”x12”, either taped with brown gummed tape to a board, or as a watercolor block (these are glued on all 4 sides).
three brushes- a big flat, a small chisel, and a small round. Buy good brushes – student or professional grade. Assortment packs are a good deal.
Paper should be for watercolor, any size. Don’t use printer paper for this one!
A set of watercolors. Get whatever set you like, but oddly enough, you can paint with cheap watercolors and end up with good results. If you are starting out, get the watercolors in tubes; they’re just easier to use. That’s it, no pencils, no erasers, no rulers!
