Supply List

During the year we will use them as an acrylic and oil emulation where we will slow the drying down to 5 hours.  We will start the painting using them as acrylics.  This summer we will convert them to "Global" colors which we use to paint oil techniques.  Click the link below for a list of supplies needed to paint this study.
