Several photos, sketches or other source material for class study.

WATER PAINTS
Students often ask what colors Don has on his palette, so we are providing you with a list of what he’s using now.  (His colors are often changing and he does enjoy experimenting with some of the new colors coming out.)  Typically, he doesn’t expect students to use the same colors; however he does emphasize that you should have 2 light, 2 medium, and 2 dark of all the primary colors.  (He also uses black.)  Most professional brands are interchangeable, and include Holbein, Winsor Newton, Daniel Smith, and American Journey.

Most of the paints that Don is now using are from the “American Journey” series sold by Cheap Joes Art Stuff catalogue.  (Phone: 800-227-2788)  These paints are equivalent to other brands in quality and are a better value.  Don’s current palette includes:
