Supply List
Please always feel free to substitute with items you already have on hand!
• A stack of cheap drawing paper like THIS or THIS. You can also use copy paper.
• Several sheets of paper for substrates, about 10″x10″. This should be sturdy and smooth; Bristol, hot press watercolor paper, or smooth printmaking paper are all good choices.
• Acrylic Paints: I recommend Golden Fluid Acrylics, but if you have another brand of professional grade paints, use them. I find fluid acrylics easier to mix in small quantities than heavy-body paints. Colors: at least two different reds, two different blues, and two different yellows, at least one green, one orange, and one purple (I recommend permanent violet dark, rather than dioxazine violet), and bone black (it is transparent and easier to mix).
NOTE: Here is a 3-page Color and Paint Handout PDF to help you choose colors, etc.
• An 8-oz bottle of white acrylic paint. I recommend Blick Matte Acrylics, white.
• A few brushes – I like flat, ½” brushes
• Acrylic Matte Medium and/or a glue stick
• A palette of your choice
• A few crayons (I use Caran d’Ache Neocolor II) or paint markers
