Materials used by Niki:

• • 2B Pencil
  • Hi Polymer Rubber
  • Brushes:
    • Rosemary and Co series 402. These are brilliant brushes as they have a great point and are super value.
    • Size 5 and Size 8
    • Rigger (Rosemary and Co series 366 size 4)
    • Flat ¾ (Rosemary and Co series 769)

• • Paper:
    • Saunders Waterford Hot Press 425g. I will bring mine stretched on a board. The size I use is ½ imperial (approx 56 x 38), this is quite big.
    • I understand if others wish to use different paper, but I recommend A3. An excellent value paper is the Seawhite A3 Watercolour paper 350g and this can be bought from artdiscount.co.uk.
    • Stretched paper is always best, and there are plenty of YouTube videos on how to do this.
    • If not stretching paper, then a board will be necessary along with masking tape to support the paper.

• • Paint:
    • I use Winsor & Newton professional watercolour. If you have different quality paint, then please substitute the Burnt Sienna for Burnt Umber.
    • French Ultramarine
    • Burnt Sienna
    • Winsor Yellow Deep (Hansa if using a different paint quality)
    • Winsor Orange
  • Pastels: - I use Unison but these are expensive so any quality would be ok.
    • Orange
    • Turquoise
    • White
    • Biscuit
  • Other:
    • Hairdryer / Kitchen Roll / White Flat Plate (pallet)/ Jar for water/ masking tape.
