- 2 full-size sheets 140 lb. hot press and/or cold press watercolor paper (Arches or Fabriano are recommended. Buy the best you can afford. Student-grade papers will not work as nicely as better papers will.) Cut or tear both sheets into 12 equal pieces measuring approximately 10 X 11 inches. One full-size sheet of watercolor paper (usually 22 x 30 inches), will yield six 10 X 11-inch pieces. Be sure you do this before our class begins!

All are readily available in art supply stores and online. I will have extra paint to share, so if you are missing a color, you will be OK.)
