PAINT AND TOOLS SUPPLY LIST
I’ve put together this supply list with a complete beginner in mind. Although the color palette I recommend is a limited palette, it allows you to create color harmony in your paintings. I’ll go further into this in class, when we are working on color mixing.
Any questions before you buy supplies feel free to contact me!

Tube Colors Required:

Lemon Yellow/Yellow Light

The photos of tube paint above are options of brands that I recommend. They are all student/professional grade, but not a basic brand. Links to websites where you can buy these brands below:

Please don’t deviate from this palette because, when it comes to color mixing, you will get a different result from what I intend.

1 Pad of Paper Required
Quick and Easy Cleanup, Mid-toned Grey Palette Paper.
I’ll explain my choice for this in class
