I don’t recommend using the cheapest student grade paints. PAPER TOWELS – 1 roll of paper towels BRUSHES: Brushes come in three basic shapes – rounds, brights, flats and filberts. Rounds are long and tubular, like a watercolor brush. Brights and flats are flat and square, with brights being short and flats being long. Fiberts combine the advantage of flats but creating the softer paint edge of a round. I use mostly brights, flats and filberts, but each type of brush gives you a unique mark. Bring whatever brushes you have but it would good to have these four. Round: #6 or #8 Large flat or bright; about ¾” to 1” wide Smaller flat or bright; about 1/4” wide Bring whatever brushes you have and feel comfortable with.
