Yes, we're going to be chatting about all the magic that goes with art-making, but my REAL hope is that you go out and make stuff! So, I put together a short list of basic art supplies to help you get started and that you can use with the art prompts I'll be sharing during the show. But remember - YOU are the most important part of the art so don't get hung up and be stopped because you don't have the "right" supplies. There are no "right" supplies! Use what you have or buy what you want! You're in charge, beautiful soul. 

And if you want a little help in getting started with some art supplies, I gotcha covered. Take a listen or click the links below for some of my favourite supplies that I use all the time. And please send me a note if you have any questions at [email protected]

Start Your Art Supplies:

1. Sketchbook with watercolour paper (make sure the paper is at least 90 lb to hold up to wet paint and water)

• Canson watercolor sketchbook
• Strathmore watercolor sketchbook

2. Permanent black pens (I love Sakura Microns)

• SAKURA Pigma Micron Pens - 10 Pack
• SAKURA Pigma Micron Pens - 3 Pack

3. Paint (either acrylic or watercolor)

Acrylic paints (buttery heavy body are good to start with. You can also get fluids, which are the consistency of ink) 

•  Golden brand (my favourite), Liquitex Basics or Ohuhu or Artist's Loft are all fine.

Watercolor paints (pans or tubes are fine) 

• Prima pan set

4. Brushes

• Any brushes are fine, no need to go expensive.
• Here's a good little variety set 

 Please start using your supplies right away! Have fun and get messy! No need to wait for the podcast to launch on January 17th, 2022 :)

Sending you joy and gratitude!
