SUPPLY LIST
Brands are not important, but a link is included if you are looking for an "easy button" or suggested brands. I selected good but cost effective options. You can always upgrade to fancier supplies, but I encourage you to use what you already have at home!
- pencil
- eraser
- paper towels
- water bucket to rinse brushes
- paint palette (or coated paper/plastic/ceramic plate)
- 11x14 canvas or canvas panel
- 3 paintbrushes: small, medium, large. I use a flat large and flat medium, and smallish round for this painting, but as long as you have 3 sizes of flat or round, you will be just fine.
- acrylic paint: white, red, yellow, blue (minimum) plus recommended premixed green and orange. Green and orange may be mixed from the required primary colors.

Do I need all the supplies listed?
Not specifically, but you will need most or some sort of replacement. You can, for instance use tempera paint instead of acrylic, and you may substitute a board or cardboard for canvas when using acrylic. Construction paper will work in place of pastel paper, but it will not have exactly the same textural effect, and it is not archival.
