Instructor: Constance Sayas
sayasdesign@earthlink.net
Note: An accessory materials fee of $5.00 will be collected by the instructor at the first class.
Materials & Supply List
Specimen: Students will meet at Fairmount Cemetery the first class session. (Instructions/directions

will be sent prior to the first class date.) Students will tour the roses and receive a specimen/rose
clipping at the cemetery. I recommend students bring: acamera, sketch pad & container/water to
hold your rose clippings.

Drawing Pencils: Leads HB, 2H, and B; sharpener; kneaded eraser
Tracing Paper & Sketching Paper: ~11" x 14" or similar
Water Containers:two
Paper Towels:(VIVA brand is good for absorption.)
Palette: of choice
Watercolor Paper:140# HOTPRESS (or 300# hotpress if you prefer). You will need: three to five (9

x 12" or similar) pieces for painting exercises and one or two larger pieces for final class painting.
Arches, Fabriano, Twin Rocker and Lanaquarelle Brands are all professional watercolor papers.
Paint Brushes:Watercolor brushes "round"; sizes #2 & #6 or similar; preferably Kolinsky sable.

Here are some good options:
1. Raphael Series #8404 round; (I recommend sizes #2, #4 for this one.) Excellent brush that I use!
(Order at Italian Art Store, below. Or, some sizes available locally at *KOZO.)
2. Escoola Series #1212, round. (at Guiry's)
3. Winsor & Newton Series #7, round. (at Guiry's & Meininger's)
4. Robert Simmons, Sapphire #S85, round. Less expensive substitute for Kolinsky sable
(at Guiry's & Meininger's)

In addition, bring a couple of inexpensive brushes for mixing paint.
Floral Oasis Foam Block:Get the type capable of holding water,
plus a container/vase to support cut flowers.
