Brienne's Favorite Painting Supplies

Workshop Supply List

Watercolor Paint Tubes

The following are my favorite colors for studio and plein air painting, you don’t need these exact colors, and something similar will work.
* I mostly use Michael Harding Watercolor paints with some Daniel Smith and Holbein paints.
** When plein air painting with Michael Harding brand paints, add paint to your palette and let dry for at least a week before packing because they have honey and don’t dry out as quickly.
