What helps me to boost my creativity is doing something new. Working with a new medium, talking a walk where i haven’t been, writing with my non dominant hand. These things help me keep my mind engaged.

Hi Andi:

Yes, in terms of special supplies – the main things are a good quality cotton paper, such as Arches or something similar that will allow your washes to flow without streaks, and for Watercolor masking fluid –
Brand: QoR, Winsor & Newton or similar – there are lots.
Type of masking fluid:
Removable masking fluid, not permanent masking medium
Colorless or with a color, as you prefer
Bottled, not a masking fluid marker.
We would love to have you in the workshop and our membership, Andi! Cheers!

Oh Michele – that’s exciting! Wahoo! Yes I’m obsessed too – those are the best techniques – when we just want to keep testing more and more variations! Keeps us creating, right? xo

Thank you! I won’t be able to attend the workshop live, but I just expanded my membership so I will be watching the replay, I can’t wait! I’m a little obsessed with this technique and with the Indigo color!

Amy, for your upcoming watercolor workshop using resist techniques (the one on Sept 24 and 25, I believe), what supplies are needed? I am so new to all of this and would like to take this workshop but not sure if I need to purchase any specific supplies. Thank you!

Hi Dorothy! Yes, I leave them in the page so that they are stronger. We will go over this and all the techniques I use in our live workshops this Wednesday and Thursday in The Gathering. Cheers!
