Suggestions for Materials:
Art materials can vary based on what you have available at your home. They can be as elaborate as a set of paints or as simple as printer paper and a pen.
Here are some suggestions ~ You may wish to use any combination of the following:
Painting supplies

• Set of paints in as many colors as you have (tempera, acrylic, watercolor, guache, etc.)
• Brushes of varying sizes/shapes (I suggest at least a flat, a round or filbert, a fine detail brush, and an angled foam brush)
• Paint palette (paper plate, plastic lid, anything flat)
• Water cup
• Rag or paper towel

and/or
Drawing tools

• Markers, paint pens, or brush pens (even a Sharpie marker works great)
• Colored pencils
• Crayons or oil pastels
• Chalk pastels
• Graphite or charcoal
• Ink pens

Surface/Paper

• Large pad or loose sheets of heavy paper (Can be bristol, watercolor paper, canvas paper, or any heavy stock)
• Printer/xerox paper, cardstock, or whatever kinds of paper scraps you have around the house
• Canvas is acceptable if you have any
• A sketchbook is another option for paper/surface

Writing supplies

• We will begin with a writing prompt, so feel free to have a pen and journal handy or you may use some of your other supplies for this
• You will need a space where you can create uninterrupted. Set up to work either vertically using an easel or taping to the wall or a board, or horizontally using a table, desk, or even the floor ~ or both. Make sure that your area is near whatever device you’ll be using to log in to the group with, whether it’s a computer, laptop, tablet or phone. Adequate lighting is also helpful.
