Supply list for Expressive Faces and Expressive Hands
1. Sheets of paper, any sketch paper will do, to practice sketching
2. Heavier paper for mixed media painting or sketching, I use Strathmore 98lb paper you can find on Amazon, I like the size 18″ x 24″, but any size you are comfortably will do.
3. Pencil, I like HB pencil to draw with. Experiment with different softness and hardness and see which will work best
4. Erasers, I like a variety of them, softer, harder, pink or white, they all seam to work a little different. I also like the softer eraser, because they smudge better, instead of creating a hard edge. The thin retractable eraser by Tombow is very useful for creating highlight where I have put a shaded area or work on very small areas, you can find in here.
5. Pencil sharpener, again, try different kinds, they all seam to work, or not work, I go through many of them, so I buy the cheapest ones.
6. Acrylic paints, for starters I would get Magenta, Ultramarine Blue, Yellow, Raw Sienna, Raw Umber, White and Paints Gray
You can also use watercolor set, I have used this simple one in the videos that you can purchase from Amazon Loew Cornell 1021095 Simply Art Watercolor Cakes
7. And some brushes, try flat bristle brushes of three different sizes, small for, medium and large, and then one round brush for more detail work.
8. You can also get a canvas board for your final painting or stretched canvas.
