You will need a palette. I use a plastic Palette Paper holder from Masterson Enterprise or from Master's Art Products. It has a blue plastic sealable top which keeps your paints intact during travel. The disposable palette paper that fits inside is Strathmore Palette Paper. I use only white palette paper OR you use plastic or Styrofoam plates.

Various Brushes: Filberts and/or Flats - Numbers 2, 3, 4, 6, 10 as well as any size fan brush.
Plastic Water Containers: Please bring 3-4 containers (such as yogurt, sour cream, ice cream, carry out, etc.).

Course Description:

 This class is open to anyone interested in painting with acrylics. Whether you are a beginner or with 20 years’ experience, the class is made to meet you where you are and grow as a painter. Each week, the instructor will give a brief demonstration on an acrylic painting technique. You can start your paintings by selecting from plenty of examples the instructor will have on-hand, or you are more than welcome to bring your own material and have the time and space to work on it. This class is designed to be informative, productive, and reassuring. The instructor has 35 years' experience teaching all levels of painting.
