1. Really big old paint brushes: The kind from the hardware store, 2-3inches or larger.

2. Paint Guides: While at the hardware store pick up a couple of Paint Guides. The one’s I use are made by Warner, 23 inches long and gives a perfect edge for lines as well as scrapping paint off the canvas.

3. Skinny, long handled brushes: I like the long handles for creating skinny lines that have just a little bit of movement.

4. Silicon Paint Brushes: I use 3 sizes: 1/2, 1 1/2 and 2 inches. I find them at Hobby Lobby( half price every other week).

5. Princeton Catalyst Wedges: I love the wedge; shape 6. It fits perfectly in your hand and moves both large amounts of paint or turn it on its side and pull this luscious fine line.

6. Trowels from the hardware store: They are great for laying down a large amount of paint and moving it around. Using the side of the trowel is a great scraping tool.

7. Artist Knives: I have a large selection of these in many sizes. They can be a little expensive, but will last forever if taken care of.

8. Paper Towels: I have tried using old rages that I wash out. I just prefer paper towels.

9. Baby Wipes: Unscented, no extra oils, etc. Baby wipes are my go to cleanup tool. They will remove acrylic paint off of canvas, brushes, tops of tables, even art paper if it isn’t too dry.

10. Music... What ever you enjoy and makes you feel good.
