SUPPLIES
Stockmar Watercolors- I like using this watercolor paint for wet on wet watercolor paintings because the colors are beautiful, it is easy to use and the concentrated paint goes a long way. The concentrated paint is mixed with water in a 1 to 4 ratio, and put into a jar with a lid. Then a small amount is poured into the individual paint jars. If you have a larger paint container, it is best stored in the refrigerator.
Suggested Colors:
*Carmine Red
*Lemon Yellow
Golden Yellow( a warm yellow)
Prussian Blue (in the Aqua family, but darker)
*Ultramarine Blue
If you would like just to buy 3 primary colors I would suggest the colors with a *
