Information: Alert[[General Items Masking tape Paint water well Plastic table cloth Blue shop towels or Paper towels Spray bottle For Painting Paints • Acrylic paint, standard or fluid paints, instead of inks. I suggest that you purchase Liquitex Basics, Artists Loft, or Amsterdam Acrylics 4 oz size. These are medium quality paints and they are pretty good. If you buy cheap paints you will be dealing with muddy colours. If you buy too expensive you may be too inhibited to splash it around. Of course, you are always able to use whatever paints you already have. That’s fine too. Colours Michael’s has a set of 6 basic colour Liquitex paint for around $25. It includes the following colours: • Mars black or Ivory black • . Titanium White • Primary Yellow • Primary Red • Primary Blue • Sap Green This is a good selection of commonly used colours for mixing to create other colours, and of course painting. If you have other reds, blues, greens or yellows that is fine too. Or you may want to paint with neon colours, or purple. DO not limit yourself to these 6 colours. Painting Tools • A palette knife • 3 inch Brush(es) – Hardware store paint brushes are fine • 2 inch brush(es) -Hardware store paint brushes are fine • 1 inch brush(es) - Hardware store paint brushes are fine Or you can purchase a set of three brushes at Michaels.
