Watercolor Pencils

All you will need to paint with acrylics, if you take a class at the studio! Don't hesitate to complete this kit with a thickening medium, a palette knife... The canvases are rather large (up to 55cm): attention, if you think you might have a difficult time transporting them, choose cardboard canvases rather than canvases (order your products individually rather than the whole pack, in order to compose your own set).

This sketchpad is middle weight (120-160 g/m2), which works fine with drawing, but also with watercolor drawing (drawing + a few touches of watercolor). Its hardback makes it convenient when working outdoors. For watercolor drawing, it is not necessary to use watercolor paper, that is more expensive, rather thick, and whose texture can prevent the nib or drawing pen from running smoothly.

For the classes and workshops taking place at the Louvre, the felt pen needs to be water-based (one may also choose a pencil). Waterproof pens are forbidden in the Museum. This one has the advantage to have two different tips: a small one, and a large one. It will also be useful outside the Louvre!

A simple graphite pencil, chosen in 2B for its softness and tenderness. Don't forget to bring an eraser and a pencil sharpener!
