Supplies needed
Brushes: I recommend picking up a variety of brush shapes and textures that will give you a lot of room to experiment. I like brushes with long handles. A lot of artists are more comfortable with short handle brushes. -Have at least 1 big brush ~ 2 inches wide -at least 1 very tiny round brush. -A variety of “Flats” -A variety of “rounds” -Filberts and brights are not recommended.
