I’m participating in a challenge on twitter called Inktober – create an ink based art work every day in October using the word of the day from twitter.
Check out my videos for this challenge on YouTube:
A while back, I put a call out on Twitter for pictures of other people pets. I got an overwhelming response (which was great). In this week’s video, I show you how I painted a lovely picture of two cats snuggling.
In part three of the series I created to show the process of painting dragonflies and a narrowboat in watercolour paint, I show you how to add the narrowboat to the painting.
I’m having so much fun with my new channel and I really want you to be able to join in. So, I’ve put together a list of equipment that I use to help get you started.
This is just the equipment that I use and isn’t a rule book. You can create with all types of things- it’s really about the practise more than the product.
I have put links in to the products below the video.
Canvas brush holder
This gorgeous heavy duty canvas brush holder is great for protecting brushes.
I also found one that includes brushes. I haven’t tried them myself but it looks like good value: http://amzn.to/2mXYfoi
Windsor & Newton Watercolour Paint
These are the paints that I use. I recommend this kit as a starter kit that you can take to the beach or on holidays because it travels really well. I use these colours as a base for all of my paintings.
This is the watercolour paper that I use and I can thoroughly recommend it. If you do find a cheaper one you might want to use it as practise paper though.
These are the paintbrushes that I use and they are not cheap, but they are exactly what I need for the detail and coverage that I get. They are durable and look the same as the day I first got them.
