gouache flowers

__*For new artists...the essentials*__
August Wren has created the workshop supply list available at: https://www.dickblick.com/bundles/sketchbook-skools-gouache-flowers-with-august-wren/ .  This list includes the key products that she’ll be using in her class.  If you’re just getting started with gouache, this is a great list that will get you off and running.  Gouache feels and looks different than watercolor or other media. August is teaching techniques and applications in a way that take real advantage of those unique properties.  

As part of her color palette, August Wren is using __Permanent Green Medium__.  Due to supply chain issues in this pandemic-topsy-turvy world, that color is in short supply.  We've listed __Brilliant Green__ and __Sap Green__ as optional, workable alternatives if Permanent Green Medium is unavailable when you shop.

__As to paper,__ August Wren prefers to work on __Hot-Press__ (smooth surfaced) sheets.  The supply list includes an artist's quality hot press block.  If you'd prefer something more budget-minded, there is also a __cold-press__, wire-bound student grade watercolor pad listed as optional.

__IMPORTANT!...__ good quality supplies will enhance your art-making process.  That said, you can certainly still have a great experience with this workshop even if you can't afford all of these products.  August Wren will be teaching a variety of principles that are applicable when using ANY art-making tools.  So, gather the materials as best you can, knowing that you can always add more later as you’re able.

__For experienced artists - things to make sure that you have on hand (assuming that you already have a reasonable ‘library’ of supplies)__
While we can’t peer into your supply cabinet and make a custom recommendation regarding which of August Wren's products you’ll need on top of your existing supplies, you WILL want to review the comments above (for new artists) and compare against your existing cache.  You may already have suitable quality products in a number of different brands...and those should be fine as long as you have the essentials that match her recommendations.
