BRUSHES (Purchase 2 of each of the FILBERTS and only 1 of the Rounds)

Do NOT purchase 'Artist's Loft' brand from Michael's they fall apart and are a waste of your money!

Buy a range of sizes in which ever brand of brush comes closest to this description:

Long Handled Synthetic Filbert

You don't have to have all of them to begin, but do have a variety of sizes. Try
to have at least one of each of a #4, #8 and #12 Filbert. If you can not find all of
the sizes in one brand, then choose different brands, but DO get a variety of sizes.

          #4 Filbert
          #6 Filbert
          #8 Filbert
          #10 Filbert
          #12 Filbert
          #14 Filbert

          #1 Round (SYNTHETIC)
          #6 or #8 Round (SYNTHETIC)

Suggested Brand:

Robert Simmons Titanium Filberts TT42
(I use to recommend several less expensive brushes, but manufacturers have lowered the quality so much that those cheaper brushes fall apart too quickly. So now all I recommend are these.)

If you can't find these in town, you can order them brushes online at DickBlick.com (see pic on left)

OTHER SUPPLIES

     - LIQUIN MEDIUM (Original) (2.5 oz or larger - MUST be Original!)

     - TURPENOID NATURAL by Weber (16 oz or larger)
         Don't waste money on a dinky, little container -
         save $$ and get a larger size - you'll NEED it - trust me

     - 2 PALETTES, Disposable Paper - Purchase two
       'Jack Richeson GREY MATTERS Paper Palettes'
         (it comes with a color wheel, gray scale and couple of
         other charts on the inside cover - you'll LOVE it!)

     - 2 – 4 STRETCHED CANVASES - 16" X 20" (or close to this size, exact

         brand! You'll only have to return them.
