Live Painting with EttaVee: Spring Edition

Supplies List - 04/10/2021

TIP: It’s a good idea to have a hair dryer on hand :) For quicker drying.

Setting up your painting area:

• Clean and flat area to paint or on an easel

• Water to clean brushes

• Cloth or paper towels to dry brushes

• Canvas - I’ll be painting on a small 9”x12”x1” canvas

• Paint Brushes*

  • Oval Wash - Size 3/4 or 1”

  • Round Brush - Size 6

  • Filbert Brush - Size 8

    *Please note that I will be painting on a small surface of 9”x12”, the brush sizes above reflect that. If you are painting on a larger surface, just make sure you have a larger brush, medium sized brush and a smaller brush for details.

Acrylic Paints:

I’ll be using the paint brand Liquitex Basics to show that you can create bright and colorful artwork using inexpensive paints! You may use any brand of acrylics of your choosing for this paint session. Feel free to select any specific colors that you want in your piece.

Places to buy acrylic paints: Michaels (check site for coupons!), Blick Art & Amazon
