Supply List for Valentine's Day Workshop

I have purposely kept the supply list as simple and inexpensive as I can. I suggest buying the more expensive items at Hobby Lobby or Michael’s using their 40% coupon, or ordering through Amazon. You can also find DIY posts for certain art supplies (e.g. homemade gesso or decoupage) on Pinterest, but make and use at on risk because I haven’t tried them! 🙂

These are supplies I will be using during class, please don’t feel obligated to purchase anything upfront or spend money if you have a similar product already. Simply use what you have.

Basic Supply List:

Sketchbook (simple copy paper will do)
Watercolor paper (the best you can afford – this pad is my favorite or a Strathmore mixed media book
Composition Notebook (the kind with a stiff cover)
1 or 2 8×10 canvases or canvas panels (or choose a variety of sizes). If panels are too expensive, consider purchasing an “Acrylic Pad” for some of the painting projects. These papers are texturized, having the same “tooth” as canvas, and will work well for most of our projects.
Pack of mini canvases
Mechanical pencils
Kneaded eraser
Watercolors – this simple set will do
Acrylic craft paints in your favorite colors, but especially PINKS! ?
Assorted paint brushes (you’ll use the same ones for acrylic & watercolor)
Foam Brush
Black permanent ink pens – I prefer PITT Artist Pens or Micron Pens, but a Sharpie extra-fine point will work in a pinch
White gel pen – these are my favorite (& maybe a white fine-point Sharpie poster paint marker – water based only)
Gesso – this is what I use
Decoupage (matte finish)
Various decorative (scrapbooking) papers in beautiful florals, pinks, reds, and/or cream colors.
Old hardcover book – we will use the pages and covers
Chip board (or you could use a cereal box)
Foam core board (or cardboard)
