Before you spend money on supplies...

If you do have supplies as listed here just bring whatever you have and we’ll make it work. The Basic Materials list below is a good start.  If you work with quality materials you will have a better experience.  Student grade materials are okay, but generally a waste of time and money.  When ordering from Daniel Smith please give them my Teacher Number TRP00206, if you are ordering online, just type it in the search section and it will come up on your invoice.  (the 0’s are all numbers) There is no charge, they give me points towards supplies.
Yes, you can bring a camera to demonstrations and workshops and take pictures for your own notes.

Suggested Art Supplies:

I took your watercolor journaling class at Daniel Smith in Bellevue and loved it.  I’ve used your book (it’s been very helpful), and I’ve been painting my pictures of Ireland almost every day.  When I paint, I’m there again.  So thanks for getting me started!
