Painting Landscapes and Nature in Watercolour with Jeremy Ford

• Paints: Bring a selection of paints in colours you are familiar with. The following are recommendations:
  Ultramarine, (sometimes called French Ultramarine)
  Phthalo Blue  Winsor & Newton call it Winsor Blue Green Shade, or Intense Blue. Daler-Rowney call it Phthalo Blue (Green Shade). If people already have Prussian Blue, it is similar and will do.
• Cerulean Blue
• Cadmium Red Light or Cadmium Red Pale, or Vermillion. Cadmium Red, which is slightly darker will do.
• Permanent Rose, (Quinacridone Violet is the same, as is Quinacridone Rose) Alizarin Crimson will do but like Rose Madder and Carmine, is darker and duller.Cadmium Yellow or Cadmium Yellow Light, or Cadmium Yellow Pale.
  Hansa Yellow Light, or Winsor Yellow, or Winsor Lemon, or Lemon Yellow (but NOT Lemon Yellow Nickel Titanate)Burnt Sienna. Burnt Umber or Sepia. (Not essential but useful)Quinacridone Gold and/or Raw Sienna and/or Yellow Ochre.Phthalocyanine Green (sometimes abbreviated to Phthalo Green. Winsor & Newton call it Winsor Green Blue Shade. Viridian or Emerald Green will do.Permanent White gouache might be handy but isn’t essential.
  • A B and/or 2B pencil
  • An eraser
  • Water containers
  • Plastic water bottle
  • Watercolour sketchbook, cartridge sketchbook; whatever size you like working. I work mostly on A3, A4 and slightly smaller
  • Bulldog clips, elastic bands or masking tape to hold corners down
  • If you prefer to work on prepared stretched paper with gumstrip and a board be prepared, otherwise stick to sketchbooks which is my preference for outdoor work
  • An assortment of brushes – suggest 1, 3, 6, 8, 10 – bigger if required
  • Perhaps a small rigger or linerwriter.

This workshop will require some walking around the grounds of the property so please dress appropriately. Cornwall School of Art will supply chairs/ small tables/ easels if required.
