Supplies for Watercolor Painting White Rabbits

Series Summary

The art of watercolor painting has been practiced since the time of Egyptian antiquity in the form of fresco wall painting, a process in which water-based pigments were applied to wet plaster. Watercolor painting also has a rich history in Chinese and Japanese painting, and has been used to add color to manuscripts in cultures throughout the world. What we think of as modern watercolor painting began to develop in the 1500s with Durer's landscape studies. The popularity of this medium spread and spawned many disciplines of watercolor painting, including the 17th century British school, and California style of the 1920s.

The supplies we're going to need are three colors, and that is Permanent Rose, which is Conackerman Rose, and Cobalt Blue, and the eyes are going to be a deep purple, which means I'm going to use dots in Violet. The brushes? I'm going to be using this one for the most part, and I'll use the decal brush, which you can use a Number One rigger as a good detail brush if you don't want to get the specially shaped brush. This has a lot of wet and wet washes in there, and with those wet and wet washes, we're going to create all the bodies and the ears, everything but the details. So, we will start."
