In this blog we will guide you through some of the materials and equipment you may need such as storage for your painting tools, water containers, watercolour paints, brushes, sketchbooks, graphite pencils, watercolour pencils and palettes. 

Our final episode of 2020 brings together all the techniques showcased over the last 7 episodes along with new techniques, to conclude with a final piece.

Our episode shows you how to create texture using non-specialist supplies such as sponges, rock salt and clingfilm.

Our In-House artist Ellie Jakeman takes you through resist techniques using both tea-light and taper candles plus masking techniques with our own ARTdiscount masking fluid and masking tape.

We explore Glazing, an important technique for all watercolour artists, especially when using a limited colour palette.
