Exploring Color can be done with almost any painting medium, although most students in my classes use watercolors. Please bring artist-quality paints, such as Winsor & Newton, Holbein, Daniel Smith and others. Leave old dried out tubes, discontinued colors and student paints at home. You might consider splitting the cost of paints with others in the workshop. Everyone should have the required colors listed below; this is the basic palette for mixing all colors on the color wheel. These colors may also be used for learning color schemes. The expanded and compatible palette colors are recommended to get the most out of the charts and painting exercises that teach about color mood and expression. However, you will have plenty to keep you busy and you'll learn a lot, even if you can only bring fine quality required colors.
