Supply list for Allison Maletz

• Hard Pencil or Mechanical Pencil (HB or 2H)
• Kneaded Eraser
• Paper 9x12”-11x14”
  • This is the best: Arches Watercolor PAD, 140 lb. Cold Pressed, 9" x 12" (the “block” is triple the price, don’t buy that) (12 sheets). ($17-20 and worth every penny!)
  • Distant seconds are Legion Stonehenge Aqua Watercolor Block, white ($17-23)
  • Or Fluid, 140 Cold Press, 9” X 12” ($14)
• Tray/Palette - A metal travel palette with a lid and at least 12 wells for different
  • Option 1 ($11-24)
  • OR: Option 2 ($22)
• A range of Watercolor Brush Sizes varying from round and flat: 0 round, 4 or 6 flat, 10 round, 20 Flat, for example (you will know them from oil brushes because the bristles on water-based brushes are very soft to the touch.) I recommend:
  • Princeton Art and Brush Co. Princeton Series 9000 Brown Handled Brush, Set of 7 ($11)
  • Size 6 round, Silver, Black Velvet brush ($16)
• 1 water container, a plastic cup or coffee tin (anything out of the recycle bin will do.)
• Watercolor paint tubes. I would recommend buying a box of 8-15 small tubes of all the basic colors. ***At the very minimum you must have primary colors:
  • Cadmium Red Deep, Cadmium Yellow, Ultramarine Blue, Lamp Black, and Burnt Umber. (No White, Naples Yellow, or “Flesh Tint”) I recommend opening the tubes of paint in the store to make sure the colors look “primary” aka, that the red is really RED and not an orangey red, etc.
  • Colors I use (and you can add them to your palette in this order - This is not mandatory, mainly for those who are curious): Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna, Crimson, Deep/Perminant Red, Alizarin, Opera, Vermilion, Deep Yellow, Light/Lemon Yellow, Yellow Ocher, Olive Green, Sap Green, Shadow Green, Viridian, Ultramarine Blue, Cobalt, Prussian Blue, Violet, Payne’s Gray, Black.
• Right now, in the demos I'm using Sennelier and Holbein
• I love this brand, and recommend it to all my students :
• Shinhan Pro Watercolor
• Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolor Paint set

*Avoid: Reeves and Michaels Brand (Artist’s Loft) Paints - They are very frustrating to work with, and have no longevity.

• Kitchen Paper towels
• Masking Fluid (I have no brand allegiance.)
• Rubber Cement Eraser (to remove masking fluid)

Optional Materials

• Clamp Light or desk lamp or ring light for additional light:
• Blow Dryer
