• Black Permanent Markers: Fine and Ultra-fine (Any brand). Make sure one is a regular Sharpie so we’re sure it doesn’t bleed when painted over with watercolor 

• Drawing Pencils: A #2 pencil you already have will work fine. If you’re really into art, you could pick out a set that has a variety of hardness types. 

• Blending tools and Erasers: Pencil sets sometimes include erasers and blending tools, so you only need to purchase blending tools if you don’t get a set that has them. • A blending tool is rolled-up paper that looks like a plain white pencil. We use it for shading. You can buy a variety of sizes in a pack or get one in a pencil set

• Watercolor Palette: A beginner set of dry watercolors is fine to start out with

• Exact color names vary by brand, so if you can’t find those exactly you may find them referred to as Primary Yellow, Primary Magenta, and Primary Blue. Make sure you buy the acrylic paint that is from the art section of the store rather than the craft section. You can find these in a variety of places. Micheals carries Liquitex Basics

•  

• Paint Brushes: A set that includes a variety is great. Look for a ¾ or 1 inch flat brush, a medium size round brush, and a small round brush, as we use those the most! •

•  

• Plastic or Paper Plates (for use as a paint palette): I use a disposable plastic plate as a palette, as it gives us lots or room to mix paints, and you can store it in a gallon ziploc bag to preserve wet paint. You’ll also need something to rinse your brushes in, like an old pasta sauce jar. 

•  

• • Glue Stick: A glue stick or school glue, whichever you have around the house will work!
