At-Home Intuitive Painting Supply Checklist
Joining us from home can be simple. You don’t need anything special to begin. Starting with whatever you already have at home is an OK way to start. Crayons, markers, a few paints, a couple of brushes, pens, or pencils are all an easy way to get started.
As you continue, you will want to get the paints we recommend. These paints give you the full experience of this creative process.
The list below includes all the supplies you will eventually want for an at home practice, but you can start simple and build your setup over time.

PAINT RECOMMENDATIONS
–––––––
For paints, we use gouache or tempera because they are the simplest to use and do not require any special skills. Our focus is on the joy of creative expression, not art technique. For gouache you can get the Himi from Amazon and for tempera get the Blick Premium Tempera from Blick.
Please watch the Home Set-Up video for more details on these paints.
