This is just the basic list, please bring anything else you use.
Paint:
This is my basic palette now. (It changes, you know!) Please bring your own color choices. Don't worry if you don't have all of the colors. You may use American Journey, Winsor & Newton, Holbein, Da Vinci, or any good watercolor. I will bring new colors for you to try.
