Most of our classes will be Acrylic Painting classes.  Please see the acrylic painting supply list below; however, a few other things might be occasionally helpful to have in addition to the acrylic supplies such as a pencil and a notebook or sketchbook for notes or little sketches.  It is not required to take notes, but I find it helpful to some students in remembering some important details about the artists and styles we study.  

(Please note that although most of our paintings will be in acrylics, occasionally we may create a watercolor or watercolor resist painting if best to emulate an artist's style.  I'll be sure to let the students know a week ahead of time and will also post a note in our classroom page about any supplies needed, as well, if it's different from our usual acrylic supplies.)  

SUPPLY LIST for ACRYLIC PAINTINGS

ONE 8"x10" White ACRYLIC PAINT SURFACE (See Several Options Below):
Stretched Canvas, Canvas Panel/Board, or Acrylic Canvas Paper
(What are the differences? . . . Stretched Canvas has primed (coated white) canvas stretched over a wooden frame & stapled to the wood.  Canvas Panel/Board feels more solid like the canvas is mounted/glued to a stiff cardboard.  Acrylic Canvas Paper is thick, coated paper that is flexible but won't warp and tear as easily as other papers and comes in a pad of multiple sheets.) 

ACRYLIC PAINTS:   (not tempera, not watercolor, not oil)
I suggest as least 1 ounce of several different colors including Blue, Red, Yellow, White & Black plus also Green, Orange, Purple & Brown although your child may not choose to use all those colors.  (Thicker acrylic paint in tubes are the best consistency for our painting techniques.  If possible, try to avoid using the thinner acrylics in plastic bottles that sound watery when shaken.)  

PAPER PLATE to use as a paint palette. (Optional to use a plastic paint palette instead or even a disposable pie tin)

ACRYLIC PAINT BRUSHES in a variety of sizes.  Include a couple of medium size ROUGH Flat Brushes (looks like a square on the tip but bristles are rough and a little prickly to the touch.  Also include a couple of very small SMOOTH Acrylic Brushes (1 very small Round brush like a pencil tip shape and 1 slender Flat Square Shape)  Please avoid brushes that are flimsy and bend when put under a stream of water. (Those are watercolor brushes instead of acrylic brushes.)

WATER in a metal can, plastic cup or glass jar (one that won’t tip over easily).

PAPER TOWELS

Please also see the attached photo that includes both types of acrylic brushes.

IF WE USE WATERCOLORS IN A LESSON INSTEAD OF ACRYLICS, your child will need a simple set of watercolors, watercolor brushes in a variety of sizes -- (at least a very thin one, medium one and a larger one), paper towel, water in a sturdy container, and watercolor paper is best.  We also may need a pencil and occasionally might need oil pastels for a resist technique.

IF WE USE ONLY REGULAR DRAWING TOOLS IN A LESSON INSTEAD OF PAINTS, your child will need a pencil, paper, eraser, a sharpener or extra pencils that are already sharpened, and something to add color such as colored pencils, crayons, twistables (a softer version of a colored pencil that is not sharpened but "twists up" to reveal more of the drawing end).  

If we use SPECIAL DRAWING TOOLS in a lesson INSTEAD OF PAINTS, your child may need OIL PASTELS as a main drawing/coloring supply.  We normally still need paper, pencil, and an eraser for this type of lesson, too.  
 

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
