Class Supply List

Acrylic Paints: Higher quality paint will make a difference in terms of color and mixing. Golden brand acrylics in either tubes or jars are recommended. Blick and Utrecht brands are other good options; opt for “Artist” grade rather than “Student” grade. Liquid acrylic paint (from a squeeze bottle) is not ideal for this class.
