  • Acrylic paint colours: minimum: blue, yellow, white, red. I use: yellow ochre, cadmium yellow, cyan & ultramarine blue, cadmium red, black, & titanium white.

  • At least 2 paintbrushes: a large & a small paint brush (a small household paint brush can be useful

  • Something to paint on either: a canvassed panel, acrylic or watercolour paper, a primed piece of wood, a supported canvas, or cradled wooden panel.

  • A piece of paper or sketchbook – for the composition exercise.

  • A pencil, or chalk, or carbon paper & biro (use just one of these depending on which method you chose to sketch your flowers on with)

  • Blue tac (if using carbon paper) or Sellotape/masking tape.

  • greaseproof paper/ paper – (if you want to use to protect areas of your work)

  • A print of the reference photo/ or view on screen.
