ALL THE SUPPLIES YOU WILL EVER NEED

  · 6B pencil

· Sandpaper palette

· Smudger or tortillon (same thing)

· Chamois

· Bristol drawing paper (2 or 3 sheets)

· Kneaded eraser

 If you are budgeting your expenses, I suggest that you purchase this set of 6 professional colors. The set contains 3 “cool” primary—red, yellow, blue--colors (leaning towards blue) and 3 “warm” primary—red, yellow, blue—colors

This is the least expensive way to enjoy reliable professional paints. Although the tubes seem small, they will last over a year of painting for a beginner.

 The best cheap brushes are made with golden taklon bristles. I like Princeton Velvet  Touch and recommend the following: Round brushes #4, #8 and #14. 1-1/2” flat.  

It is critical you use good paper! You want 100% cotton, that has a reliable sizing on it. Arches 140 pound cold press is my go-to, OR Kilimanjaro OR Fabriano Artistico
