Materials List:

filbert in 1”and 2” sizes.
Paint: good quality acrylic paint, middle to professional-grade in a full range of colors. Include phthalo green.

Not craft acrylics.

The transparent fluid acrylic paint used in this painting will be provided and the cost is included in the class price. If you have some bring them but the price is the same.
Roll of paper towels
Two old terry cloth towels: one bath size, one hand towel size.
