Intuitive Abstract Materials List

You may wish to consider pooling resources with another student

– e.g. sharing gouache splitting a watercolor block, etc.

Watercolor block of your choice, square preferred Fluid brand is fairly affordable and works) or preferred your choice of paper. (I used to use 16” square for this type of work but it’s virtually unavailable these days; some people prefer to work smaller; 10x10 or 8x8 is as small as I would go; I would not go much larger than 16x16 for this workshop.)
