What you’ll need for these watercolor projects:

Watercolor Paint Box
Watercolor sets should provide rich and wonderfully satisfying color. A Reeves or Prang watercolor set offer just this at an economical price.

Watercolor Paper
Watercolor paper is a special paper that’s thick enough to take a soaking and still stay flat. It comes in different textures and weights (thicknesses). A 140lb textured paper is recommended.

Watercolor Brush
Different brushes give different results. A medium-sized (#5) round brush is perfect to get you started.

Watercolor Pallet
Your local art/craft store offers a variety of watercolor pallets if you would like to purchase one. However, a paper plate covered in plastic wrap will work just fine.

Pencil
Art pencils are available in soft and hard leads. However, your #2 school pencil will work just fine.

There’s an artist in all of us. Unfortunately, by age ten the excitement for coloring and drawing pictures diminishes, you became frustrated and gave up. Our left brain, the one that does all the stuff at school, begins to dominate everything we do. The problem is that right brain, the one that is “right” for drawing has given way to the left, and the left brain isn’t any good at drawing.

The goal of the following drawing lessons is to give the right brain an chance to emerge. To develop a “shift” in thinking, from the left brain to the right. To let the left brain know that its time is over, and begin draw in a way you never have before.

Our free resource site, MakingArtFun.net, features a easy-to-follow drawing lessons that are sure to make you the artist you always wanted to be.
