- Sketchbook - Any size/type you would like! I prefer spiral-bound.
- Portfolio (or 2!) - You will be in charge of keeping your artwork pristine! You may choose to buy two portfolios, one for charcoal or pastels and one for all other mediums. It helps to keep the charcoal/pastel drawings seperate as they are messy even after being spray-fixed! I recommend the Star Products Red Wallet Portfolios. If you are planning on going to art school or majoring in art in college, you might want to invest in a more structured portfolio instead. I recommend Blick Basic Portfolios.
If you work large you should invest in either the 20" x 26", 23" x 31", or 24" x 36".
- Pencils & Erasers - A kneaded eraser is highly recommended as well as a Mars Plastic Eraser. Sketching, drawing pencils or #2 pencils are also necessary. I recommend Staedtler Mars Lumograph Drawing Set.
- Colored Pencils - I highly recommend Prismacolor Brand. You can choose a set depending on how much you love to work with colored pencils! The more colors the merrier!
- Acrylic Paint - Left-overs from last year... at a minimum please buy Red(s), Yellow, Blue(s) and White. Blick Studio Acrylics. IF you would like to begin to learn Oil's instead of Acrylic please see my Oil Painting List on the drop-down menu under "Supplies".
- Paint Brushes for Acrylic Paint - One example: Golden Taklon Brushes, Set of 4 (#9123) https://www.dickblick.com/products/princeton-real-value-series-9100-brush-sets/
