Writing & Mark-Making Tools– Pencil and kneaded eraser– Favorite writing pen (for journaling or outlining)– White gel pen– Paint pens in black, white, gold, silver, or any colors you like (Posca pens are my favorite but any brand will do)

Paint & Brushes–Watercolor set (I like the MeiLiang sets available on Amazon, we’ll learn how to mix colors, so small sets are wonderful! )– Paint palette for mixing paint (a coated paper plate will do)

- Brushes including a Size 6 round and a small detail brush as well as any other favorites you may have.
