🎉 Getting Supplies Together! 🎉

The basics

The basic supplies you will need are:

• Paint (tempera, or poster paint-same thing— very inexpensive) We want to feel free to use as much as we want!

• Brushes - a variety of sizes is best.  Again, nothing too expensive- this is about feeling like if you ruin a brush, it’s ok.  Hardware store, craft store, art supply store- anywhere. Long-handled is nicer to use.

• a palette- could be a paper plate, a muffin tin, a tray, anything. 

• a water container- bigger is better.  A pail, a big cup, something to hold water.  

• Paper- This is where to actually care- we want paper that can hold as much paint as you want.  Also, bigger is better- gets your body involved.  See links below.

• push pins or t-pins or just tape

• masking tape

• support surface or easel - could be a wall, door, or whatever you have. 

If you just want to get started quickly, you can go to the dollar sstore and get a few pieces of poster board, some of their TEMPERA paint and brushes, a paper plate, and a bucket. Done.

Here is a LINK to Blick with all the supplies you need. Please note, I included 16oz. bottles of paint- you can always go smaller and spend less.

Here is the LINK for a document that includes a LOT more information regarding supplies, different brands of paint, how to DIY an easel, and more.
