2023 Week 2: Natural Encounters Supply List

NATURAL ENCOUNTERS WITH SONDRA HOLTZMAN
Students will need to bring the following to class: 

  • Any natural objects you love, as well as a small container/basket for collecting others
  • A small watercolor sketchbook or notebook
  • Scotch tape
  • A small set (6 watercolors) of artist-grade paints in the colors of your choice. We will be using a LIMITED PALETTE of no more than six colors in this class, which should be included in your palette. My favorite limited color choices are: Indigo, Raw Umber, Quinacridone Gold, Quinacridone Deep Gold, Lunar Black and Lunar Violet. *Note: If you are uncomfortable using a limited palette, please feel free to expand your color choices. *Note: The ink you choose for your fountain pen and the black ink from the ball point pen can count as two “bonus” colors
  • Small round watercolor brush with a sharp point:
    I recommend the Dynasty Black Gold Short Handle Brush - Quill, Size 3/0 (Order #06456-1030) $10.50 at Dick Blick or 2/0 (Order #06456-1020) $13.55 at Dick Blick. Otherwise, a #6 synthetic watercolor round brush will work just fine.
  • Fountain pen with a PISTON FILLER that has a FINE or EXTRA FINE nib:
    I highly recommend the following from The Goulet Pen Company (www.gouletpens.com) Fountain Pen: TWSBI ECO with a fine or extra fine nib (available in 9 colors!)
  • Ink: They carry an amazing range of beautiful inks worthy of close investigation! Other options for fountain pens are: Pilot disposable fountain pen or one of your choice.
  • Container for water
  • Small piece of terrycloth rag for blotting your brush
  • Two 1” binder clips to hold journal pages flat while painting
  • A small grinder of sea salt (not regular table salt)
  • Small 6” ruler. I recommend the rulers that have a cork back that don’t slip on the paper as you are using them.
  • Mechanical pencil
  • Small kneaded eraser
  • Small bottle of Elmer’s glue
  • Pair of scissors
  • Xacto knife
  • Micron pen in any color you choose
  • Ball point pen. I like the Pilot G-2, 0.38

Optional:
  • any poems or inspirations words/phrases you like
  • small magnifying glass
  • portable chair
  • sunscreen
  • hat

 

INSTRUCTOR WILL PROVIDE: 

  • Bookbinding supplies for nature journal: awls, needles, twine
  • My box of vintage postage stamps for students to use as an option
  • My set up for Natural Encounters: artist roll, etc.
  • A small collection of natural objects
  • Sample journals
  • Scissors/Glue
  • Typewriter and typing paper, including brown paper
  • Scotch tape
  • A few large sheets of Biggie paper for a collaborative piece for students
