Supplies:
Silver Brush Limited, Black Velvet Series, round size 8
Turquoise d' Pthalo Sennelier watercolor paint or Turquoise Pthalo Green shade. (any shade of blue-ish green will work, or you can mix a blue and yellow to get the shade you desire.) Note: These particular colors are very staining, which means they are difficult to lift out of your paper. Any color in the Pthalo family is staining, but very beautiful. 
Raw Sienna (or Yellow Ochre)- Holbein
Sepia-Holbein (any shade of brown will do, raw umber, burnt umber, etc. Just a dark shade of brown.)
140 lb cold pressed watercolor paper. I use Arches, or Fabriano, or Daler Rowney Langnton.
