Art Supply Shopping Cart

You can now go online at http://www.dickblick.com/ , then click on Blick U, then click on Tennessee in the dropdown menu, then click on CHET in the second dropdown menu to find a shopping cart of supplies that I recommend. Of course, you can still purchase supplies elsewhere if you wish, but at least you can get some idea of what items I have in mind. . Please remember, there are other items not in the shopping cart, i.e. mineral spirits , tape, baby wipes etc. These can be purchased much cheaper at Walmart.

Recommended Paint Brushes

For those of you who were wondering what type of brushes to get, I suggest the ones on the left, or something like the set shown here.

You will also need a 000 round (liner) brush, something like the one shown here.

This is my favorite pallette knife.

Brushes that I recommend

Each painting student needs to have a good assortment of round and flat brushes in various sizes, including a fan brush and a 000 round (liner) brush. The brushes pictured here, or something similar would be great to start out with.
