Short Summary

My name is Otilia Kocsis and I'm a Patras - Greece located artist, who is mainly inspired by the Mediterranean landscape beauty (my Watercolor Gallery web site).

Since previous year, I volunteered to teach a ~30 weeks workshop (check here for our activities) in watercolor painting to seniors (aged over 60 years old) at the 2nd KAPI (community center) in the city I live. The workshop is foreseen to start each year by the end of September and ends in June of the following year.  For the first workshop (September 2014 to June 2015) we started with 10 attendants, while this year we will have a bigger group (~12 attendants).

The community center has space and infrastructure (room to host the workshop, furniture, etc) to support the project, and this year has managed to partially cover the needed materials for the very beginning of the workshop, but there are many things we are still missing to be sure we can make it for all 30 sessions. We mostly need watercolor paper, paints, brushes, masking fluid and other accessories.

All the money raised will be spent to get the necessary materials for the workshop. If more than the target amount is raised, the money will be used to have a second workshop group at another one of the city's community centers (there are 3 in total), or to cover the materials for the next year.

What We Need

Watercolor paper: we have two packs of 10 sheets each, which should last for the first 5 sessions, but we need 5 more packs of watercolor paper. Each pack costs ~50.00 US$.

Watercolor paints: we have 1 set of 12x12ml tubes and 1 set of 12x20ml tubes, but we would need at least 2 more sets of 12x20ml tubes. Each set costs ~35.00 US$.

Brushes: we have 5 sets of brushes for the absolute beginners that will join us this year, but we need to replace some of the older brushes and get some larger size brushes. The total estimated cost of needed brushes is ~80.00 US$.

Masking fluid: we need 5 bottles of 75 ml each. Each bottle costs ~5.00 US$.

Other materials and accessories: natural sponges, boards, paper tape, paper towels. Total estimated cost of these materials is ~40.00 US$.

Please notice that some other costs need to be covered: indiegogo fees, paypal fees, shipping costs, etc.
