• Paintbrushes (for acrylic) I suggest at least 3 different sizes: a bright (size 10) bright (size 4) & round (size 2)–basically big medium and a small pointed brush 
• 
  
• a palette (palette paper works well) or a “Sta-Wet palette” even paper plates
• acrylic paint in at least the 5 colors (red blue yellow black & white–Liquitex Basics make a good starter paint set).
• 2- 8×10″ canvas and 1-16×20″ canvas to paint on…canvas board wood panel back-stapled or whatever you’d like to try
• Tabletop Easel (not necessary as you can borrow one from us but if you plan to paint at home I’d suggest an easel of some kind)
• a palette knife (not absolutely necessary
