• Paints: We are intentionally using a limited palette to better understand color relationships. I recommend purchasing the following palette of acrylic paints. Brands like Liquitex and Golden tend to have the truest pigments. I like Golden's fluid acrylics.

1. Ultramarine blue
2. Sap Green
3. Burnt sienna
4. Indian Yellow
5. Red- (note! Cadmium red is very expensive and potentially toxic. I use it occasionally, but pyrrole red [also branded as sennelier red or winsor red, depending on the brand] is a good alternative)
6. Titanium white

• Painting mediums- I recommend Liquitex ultra-matte medium as a painting medium.
