Colorful Joy art supply list

It is not my intention to purchase all the supplies - you may have a lot of these already, and I suggest you use your favorite supplies on hand. And always stay true to the colors that you love. All my lessons can easily be done in a color palette of your choosing. Also, some supplies are more expensive than others - there are different brands and many substitutes for the same thing. You can do any of my classes with basic painting supplies!

​

Good news: For any King Art Supplies purchased on their website, you use my code: ANDREAGARVEY10 for an additional 10% off. Includes sale items too, just not a few highly discounted items. 

​

Canvas 

11x14" Preferably Deep-Sided Canvas 1-1/2”

(I like the canvases better at Blick, King Art, or your local art supply store. If you want to get a regular-sided canvas then Amazon has plenty to choose from)

​

Acrylic Paints | Assorted Colors

Different brands I like: Nova Color or Liquitex Soft Professional

​

Acrylic Inks | 1 or 2 Warm and Cool Colors (see my favorite colors below)

Golden High Flow, Daler Downey, Amsterdam

* or Golden Fluid High Flow paints are fine as well.

​

Oil Pastels | Dark Colors

* or a water-resistant wax crayon like Neo Color I is fine.

​

Brushes | Assorted Sizes + Shapes

* I love the round and angle shader brushes by King Art, in a variety of sizes.

​

Paint Pens any paint pens in your favorite color will do, I like 3m and 5m by Posca the best.

Posca Pastel Set 5m
Posca Primary Set 5m

​

Sketchbook or Drawing Pad 

Sketchbook Pens I like:

Faber-Castell Pitt (I like the "S") Micron (I like the 05)

Since I filmed the class, Stencilgirl Product Stencils are now my favorite, but there are lots of options out there! You can also make your own.

​

Misc
