SUPPLIES
If you’re just starting with acrylics, size 2 fl. oz tubes (or thereabouts) are fine. I prefer the heavy body acrylics (buy here). Use a fine mister spray bottle and a Sta-wet palette with sponge and acrylic palette paper inserts. I use mostly Golden Artist Colors, but any professional brand of acrylic paint is fine. You may use extenders or mediums with acrylics. I use a fine mist spray bottle of water. Occasionally I will pre-treat the surface of the canvas or panel with Neutral Gray N7 or N8 by Golden.
You can find all my favorite brands for paints and many of my supplies on my Nancy's Favorite Things Page here.

On mobile devices the acrylic color is listed first, then the oil color under it.
