Materials needed:
I try to use a limited range and a minimum of materials, so you don’t need a mountains of paint and thousands of brushes to draw this painting.
◽️Paints (mine by Schmincke):
– cold yellow (Transparent Yellow)
– warm yellow (Turner’s Yellow)
– orange (Transparent Orange)
– blue (Cobalt Blue)
In one place I also use sepia (dark brown), but it’s not necessary.
◽️Brushes: large soft squirrel/imitation, round or oval goat brush, small synthetic brush with a sharp tip
◽️Paper: for this subject paper is not essential, cellulose paper is also suitable, but I recommend 100% cotton, fin texture, density of 300 gr. (I have Arches Torchon)
◽️Masking tape, can for water, paper towels, pencil and eraser
◽️Ordinary kitchen salt
