Substrate: Ampersand Artist Panel, 12” x 16” (30cm x 41cm) or larger. The Artist Panels have a slicker surface which is great for glazing and layering. You can buy tempered masonite at a hardware store and prime it with gesso. Hot press illustration board or watercolor paper primed with gesso is great too.

Acrylic paint markers (I used Molotow One4All)

Acrylic paints, fluid variety: Hot Colors: Quinacridone Red, Hansa Yellow, Pyrolle Orange or Quinacridone Magenta. Cool Colors: Pthalo Blue, Cobalt Blue, Teal, Ultramarine Violet. Contrast Colors: Titanium white and Carbon Black. I used mostly Golden and Nova Color fluids but Americana and other craft paints work as well.

Brushes and mark-making tools: Foam brushes, bristle brushes, Princeton Catalyst brushes, rubber brayer, knitting needles or any type of scraping tools. Silicon kitchen utensils make great marking tools!

Palette paper (I used Strathmore)

Stencils, stamps or foam stamps for creating patterns. Slice a bunch of celery or a potato to make a stamp and find things you have around your home to make patterns.
