Pick your favorite set of brushes. An inexpensive pack helps ease worry if you mess them up, no biggie!

Grab either flat canvases or stretched canvases. My favorite is stretched canvases, they give a more elevated feel to the art.

Paint palettes are optional, but I find a pack of round inexpensive ones work great. Keeps me from using all my tupperware lids for paint.
