ROBIN POTEET WORKSHOP IS FULL... WAIT-LIST ONLY.
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.

Supply list for “Starting Traditionally, Moving to Abstraction”
Instructor: Karen Knutson www.karenknutson.com (there are 2 pages)
1. Watercolor paper: Arches 140 pound cold press. One full sheet, unless you are fast, bring 2.
2. Brushes. If you already have oil painting brushes or acrylic brushes, bring those. I use mainly 3 brushes: 1” flat, ½” flat, and #6 round. Otherwise, I use a big 2 or 3” cheap brush for preparing the paper at the beginning. ( I have lots of extra 2” cheap brushes for you to use.)
3. Bring approximately 12” x 16” foam core board or gator board for support. We’ll probably be working on quarter sheet sizes (size 11” x 15” or 11" x 11" sizes.)
4. Watercolors. Bring your favorites. My main 5 colors that I always use are cobalt blue, aureolin yellow, permanent rose, alizarin crimson, Winsor green (yellow shade). (Alizarin crimson and winsor green make a great black!). Otherwise, I use ultramarine blue, burnt Sienna, manganese blue, cerulean blue, quinacridone yellow, new gamboge, raw Sienna, neutral tint, scarlet lake.
5. watercolor brushes. I like 1" flat, 1/2" flat, and #6 round, but bring whatever brushes you are comfortable with.
6. Water container (I use big Parkay tubs). Sponge for wiping off your brush.
7. Windex bottle (push button top) for spraying water. Empty Windex out and put water in the bottle. (You can usually find these at Holiday Gas Stations or convenience stores.)
8. Kleenex tissues (BECAUSE they pop up for fast grabbing)
9. Acrylic matte medium (Liquitex is my favorite) and (an old brush for applying it. I use a 1/2 inch flat brush.)
10. One package of colorful napkins for our napkin exchange. (Try to pick napkins that have busy shapes like checks or are very colorful). We will be using these for collage.
11. Tracing paper (Get at Dick Blick or Michaels) and graphite paper (My favorite is Saral, available at Dick Blick)
12. Notebook, pencil, and eraser
13. Scissors and/or exacto knife
14. Interior decorator magazine, for making design sketches.
15. Black permanent markers (fine and ultra fine tips). I prefer Sharpie Twin Top black markers.
16. Any gold or metallic acrylic paints that you already have. Again, I have some to share with you.
17. Ruler
18. Optional: Pebeo gold Porcelaine outliner paint (in tube) I got mine through the Cheap Joes catalog.
19. I will be bringing 2 ATG double stick tape dispensers. If you already have one, you are welcome to bring it. Otherwise, we will take turns using mine.
20. Reference photos of your choice. Flowers, dragonflies, birds are all good ideas. Bring whatever reference photos expanded to a size that works well on a quarter sheet. (11" x 15" paper) These next items, I will be bringing along to share with you for a small fee. If you want to buy your own, that's fine too. I'm just trying to keep the cost down for you all. :)
21. i Craft Gold Deco Foil and/or copper Deco foil. You can buy your own at www.scrapbook.com. Also available at Hobby Lobby or JoAnne Fabrics (it’s called gold reactive foil there and comes in 12” rolls and 6” rolls.
22. Any markers that you would like to embellish your paintings with. I use gold, black and white mainly for the finishing touches.
23. Collage ideas: fiber papers, such as unryu paper, chair paper, Old magazines, music sheets, or dictionary pages to use for color samples and possibly in collage.
24. Optional: Caran d’Ache neocolor II water- soluble crayons. Bring your favorite colors. (I use neon lilac, lime green, bright orange, and bright sky blue.) 5. Wear layers, since sometimes it gets too hot for some or too cool for others. Also, bring a protective apron, or wear old clothes.
