ACRYLIC PAINTS .

BRUSHES for watercolors : 1 acrylic taklon round brush - my favorite sizes are 10,12 or 14
+ 1” wide flat brush
PALETTE: 1 white plastic palette with large mixing areas suitable for watercolors
for acrylics I recommend using the Masterson's palette for my acrylics because it has a seal and will keep my acrylics moist for many day's use.
A WHITE large- plastic or foam plate/tray suitable for mixing paints on will also work for acrylics, but this will not keep acrylic paints moist.
WATER CONTAINERS: You will need : Two jars or plastic containers for water.
OTHER ITEMS: You may want to have some kind of table cover ie, plastic table sheet, table cloth, large trash bag anything to keep your paint area clean. Please bring a 4B (soft) drawing pencil and an eraser.
"Friskit" also known as a resist , this product is used to save the whites on our paper - I recommend "Incredible white magic" Winsor & Newton also makes a friskit , make sure it is the removable friskit and not permanent.
