Robin Poteet — Supply List “Draw Your Way to Better Paintings”
• A mechanical pencil with 5mm lead, HB hardness (readily available at art & office supply stores)
• A general sketching pencil, #4B
• Eraser (white or kneaded)
• A sketchpad 11x14 (or thereabouts). 60 or 70# weight. Recycled fiber content is fine
• A supply of cold press Arches, Kilimanjaro or Fabriano paper. Bring enough to work 11”x14” or larger, and
to create a painting each day. 140# weight is preferable, and blocks are fine for this workshop. If you bring
individual sheets, DO bring a backboard of Masonite or gatorboard that you can tape your paper to.
• Masking tape (enough to tape your paper to your backboard each day)
• A watercolor palette. One with wells for fresh paint and with plenty of mixing space. (I use a plastic John
Pike palette that comes with a lid).
• Your usual assortment of TUBE watercolor paint (*see below for the colors I use)
• Your usual assortment of brushes. I frequently use a #4 Rigger for fine detail, a #6 Pointed Round, a 3/4”
Cat’s Tongue, and a #6 Joe Miller’s Pseudo Squirrel Quill Mop for washes. A little scrubber, such as
Cheap Joe’s Fritch #4 Scrubber also comes in handy. None of these are mandatory for our workshop, but
do bring a good assortment of sizes, including some large brushes, and be sure all are made for
watercolor.
• Water Bucket and Paper Towels
• Optional: Masking Fluid and a tool to apply it
Reference Photos / Materials: Variety is encouraged, and this workshop is well suited for Animals,
Figure/People, Architecture and Landscape. Try to select photos where a particular element dominates (as
opposed to a very busy or detailed image). If you have questions, email me!
Paint colors: I don’t require that students purchase certain colors, but if you’re interested, here’s what I
frequently use: Lemon Yellow Pale, Cadmium Yellow Medium, Jaune Brilliant #2, Cadmium Orange, Raw
Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Opera, Quinacridone Red, Cadmium Red, Alizarine Crimson, Sap
Green, Viridian Green, Ultramarine Blue, Cobalt Blue, Cerulean Blue, Peacock Blue, Prussian Blue and
Neutral Tint. Pan or cake colors will not work well for this workshop.

** MINERAL MATTERS EXHIBIT
Deposits of mineral resources have long perpetuated associations of “richness” and “natural wealth” with the lands of West Virginia. While such substances are not all considered minerals, they are all mineral resources. Often extracted for their “economic interest” and “usefulness to society,” these natural materials have been transformed and commodified by the forces of industrialization. Yet the mineral resources of the Mountain State still hold value, qualities, stories, and associations all their own.
Mineral Matters will feature artworks that highlight the mineral resources themselves—the substances from the earth in what we now call West Virginia. We are looking for artworks that interpret or feature West Virginia’s mineral resources in personal, practical, ecological, ancestral, or other conceptual ways. References and commentary on mineral resource industries and their social, political, and economic impacts are welcome, as long as the overall narrative or concept of the work maintains strong connections and attention to the actual natural resource.
Artworks may feature any mineral resources found in West Virginia, whether mined for profit or not. All mediums considered.
Entry Fee: Free
Entry Deadline: October 03, 2022

Housed in the Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, the Watts Museum is dedicated to preserving and promoting the social, cultural & technological history of West Virginia’s mineral resources & related industries.
