Recommended materials PAPER: Watercolour paper in at least 200 lb weight unless you wish to stretch a lighter paper; or use watercolour blocks. A NOT surface is the most versatile, although for strong textures a rough paper is excellent as on this occasion. David prefers Saunders Waterford paper, but Bockingford is an excellent, less expensive alternative.
A cartridge sketch book is invaluable for doing preliminary thumbnail sketches and testing colour mixes.
BRUSHES: Rosemary & Co. brushes. Numbers 4, 8 and 12 round (or 4, 6 and 10 if preferre Number 1 rigger, large wash brush (minimum) sable brushes are best for watercolours but modern synthetic ones can be effective and are cheaper.
