Basic Supply List

Start with these and add new colors, brushes and accessories as you learn. The Brush & Palette Studio, Hobby Lobby, Michaels and Utecht all carry painting supplies. Please bring in a jar with a lid and fill with solvent if you are painting in oils. As you paint you will need to replace colors and add canvases. A box or tote bag for holding all your materials is a good idea. The flat drying rack in the studio can hold papers, wet paintings and palettes. Call me if you have any questions 850-528-1961, and have fun! P.S. I posted a link of a another artist's basic supply list. You will find they vary from teacher to teacher.
