Supply list:
Humming Birds in Nest - printouts
We will be painting wet on wet on both the hummingbirds and the rabbit, so we will be painting with it flat. Kaye likes to paint straight from the tube…but thinks it would be fine just to bring your palette. She uses Daniel Smith and sometimes Winsor Newton.
Rabbit 9 x 12
- printouts (if we have time)
Wet-on-wet
These are pretty much the same colors as for the hummingbirds, but I did add Joseph Z’s Warm Gray. But you could probably use ultramarine blue…watered down. Or even Payne’s Gray. We are not trying to do photo realism, but just enjoying painting with the wet-on-wet technique.

Arches 140 lb cold-pressed - stretched and taped to a good surface -
(12 x 18 preferred - You don’t have to make it this large…but at least an 11 x14) - hummingbirds
