[Titanium white, Mars Black, Medium Grey (NOT Light), Cadmium yellow medium, Cadmium red medium, Cobalt blue, Ultramarine Blue, and permanent green].

Orange, Purple/violet, and Burnt Umber are recommended-these and

other colors are welcomed but not necessary and completely your discretion)

- Choose paints you like/can afford:

- Paint options: Artist loft $, Utrecht or Blick $-$$, Liquitex (Basics) $-$$, Winsor

Newton $$, Golden $$-$$$, and Grumbacher $$-$$$

Expense does impact quality, but the cheapest can work. Again, choose

according to your budget & preference.

- *Acrylic medium- fluid (not paste consistency, more liquid like- I use Liquitex brand)

- Canvas/surfaces: You will need 4 surfaces to paint on for projects and paper for

technique practice. I recommend these (sm-med) sizes to begin with, to not feel

overwhelmed… but size is up to your comfort/ambition, understand bigger = more time commitment to finish, but also more impact (!)

- 1 canvas 16x20” or bigger
