Note:

I use the Utrecht "Artist's Acrylic" line of paint (not the studio or fluid line) because of the high pigment content and thick viscosity of the paint.

Since we will be studying color effects, using the best paints will make the work easier.

IF YOU PREFER TO WORK WITH ANOTHER BRAND, BE AWARE THAT these are all SINGLE PIGMENT paints.  NOT "HUES"

Brushes:

Cheap natural white bristle brushes can often be purchased in sets.

Sometimes you'll find good ones at Ocean State Job Lots or AC Moore

Same thing with synthetic bristle brushes.

You'll need a variety, but here's the minimum:

Flats:

#12 long bristle -- or 1'

#8 long bristle -- or 5/8"

#10 short

#6 short

Rounds:

#9, #8, #4, #2, #1 white bristle

#3, #0 synthetic or sable

#1 or #2 sable or sable blend rigger or liner

One palette knife - any size, for mixing & cleaning the palette

Palette:

If you do not have a palette, here are some suggestions:

12" x 16" x 1/4" plate glass is best, painted white on the bottom side.

Alternatively, disposable paper palettes will suffice.

The Masterson Sta-Wet Premier Palette is and air-tight unit for keeping

the paint from drying out.  I put the plate-glass palette in it, instead

of their sponge and paper inserts.
