Materials Needed

Materials

The supplies you need will very much depend on the object and design you are painting.

Below are all the materials I've used in preparing and painting my objects. However before purchasing lots of new materials I would recommend watching the course first, plan your design, then make an informed decision on what you think you'll need.

I've used 3 different acrylic paints and whilst they are all listed below you may find you only use one type for your project.
