Class Supplies Recommended
The better your supplies the easier it is to paint and learn. If you have any questions please feel free to give Jen a call 805-827-1095, please note you do not need everything below, this is what I like. Canvas - 12x12, 11x14 or 16x20 Brushes - Brand I recommend Silver Brush several sizes ans shapes including: Filbert, angle, large wash brush and small round or liner. This is a great place to purchase any of the brushes from Silver Brush Some of the brushes I like the best are: Firmer brush Bristlon Brushes, softer brush Black Pearl and my most favorite (and more expensive) Monza Medium -Golden Acrylic Glazing Liquid Paints - There are so many colors to choose from, this is a list of some of my favorites. Brand that I suggest is Golden Heavy Body Acrylics for most painting you can get a set of basic colors to get you started and add from there. Must Have Color - Titanium White Neutrals
