Suggested Supplies for Above Colored Pencil and Watercolor Bonus Workshop:
- Set of watercolors, medium and small-sized brushes, watercolor paper, water, pencil, set of colored pencils.
- Watercolor special techniques supplies: salt, toothbrush, sponge, aluminum foil, saran wrap, straw, wax stick or small birthday candle, paper towel, tape, razor blade, small tree stick, and an eraser (my favorite is the Tombow MONO Sand Eraser that’s great for lifting watercolor, ink, and colored pencil).
