Colorful Joy art supply list
It is not my intention to purchase all the supplies - you may have a lot of these already, and I suggest you use your favorite supplies on hand. And always stay true to the colors that you love. All my lessons can easily be done in a color palette of your choosing. Also, some supplies are more expensive than others - there are different brands and many substitutes for the same thing. You can do any of my classes with basic painting supplies!
Good news: For any King Art Supplies purchased on their website, you use my code: ANDREAGARVEY10 for an additional 10% off. Includes sale items too, just not a few highly discounted items.
11x14" Preferably Deep-Sided Canvas 1-1/2”
(I like the canvases better at Blick, King Art, or your local art supply store. If you want to get a regular-sided canvas then Amazon has plenty to choose from)
Acrylic Paints | Assorted Colors
Different brands I like: Nova Color or Liquitex Soft Professional
Acrylic Inks | 1 or 2 Warm and Cool Colors (see my favorite colors below)
Golden High Flow, Daler Downey, Amsterdam
* or Golden Fluid High Flow paints are fine as well.
Oil Pastels | Dark Colors
* or a water-resistant wax crayon like Neo Color I is fine.
Brushes | Assorted Sizes + Shapes
* I love the round and angle shader brushes by King Art, in a variety of sizes.
Paint Pens any paint pens in your favorite color will do, I like 3m and 5m by Posca the best.
Posca Pastel Set 5m
Posca Primary Set 5m
Sketchbook Pens I like:
Faber-Castell Pitt (I like the "S") Micron (I like the 05)
Since I filmed the class, Stencilgirl Product Stencils are now my favorite, but there are lots of options out there! You can also make your own.
Misc
