Classes at Noted. in Hingham
I’m delighted to be an Artist in Residence at Noted. in Hingham. Noted. is owned by Ashley and it’s where she hand pours candles and has a beautiful retail space as well. The Noted. Classroom is beautiful and light-filled, perfect for painting! I will be teaching individual classes perfect for beginners. All materials provided for the class.

- Watercolor paper, I use Canson XL Watercolor paper but this doesn’t include cotton. Cotton papers on blocks I like are: Fluid 6″ x 6″ block and Winsor and Newton Professional (these are all cold press papers)
- Pencil (I like using a mechanical pencil or Blackwing)
- Plastic Eraser
- Round Brushes (sizes 6, 4, and 2 – I like Princeton Velvetouch, I also really like the daVinci Series 11 Maestro which are sable and more expensive)
- Script Liner Brush Size 1 for details
- Clean water (I use recycled glass yogurt pots)
- Scrap watercolor paper to test out colors on the side. I also have a piece of kitchen roll to blot my brush
- Watercolor Palette ( I like this one because it closes)
- Watercolor Paints (colors I used mostly by Daniel Smith but some our Winsor and Newton) I enjoy using tubes of paint. This is a great starter set by Daniel Smith and I would add Sap Green
- If you’re traveling or want to try pan paints I really like this one by Daniel Smith.
