The next step is getting our supplies together. And first off, you're going to want to have a variety of oil paints, that's what we're going to be using today, at your disposal. You can use acrylics, but this is primarily what we're doing today, oil paints. For this you're going to want an assortment of cool and warm colors. Colors like Sap Green, Phthalo Turquoise, Cerulean Blue. Also, like kind of the more warm side, you're going to want to have Raw Sienna, Ivory Black, Burnt Umber. Those are going to be some of the critical ones for some more of the like land elements you're going to have at the border of your seascape. What's more, don't forget the power of white. White's going to be great for any sea spray, sea sproth, white caps, all that sort of thing. You want to have some good white. And, it blends beautifully with your other cool colors. Next, we're also going to be using a palette knife. This is to mix up your paint on your palette and mix all those colors together. Then we're going to have an assortment of brushes. And some of the important ones are going to be flat heads because they're flat headed, original name, I know. And we're going to have a bunch of these because this is going to be one of our staple brushes. So we're going to have some big flat heads, some smaller flat heads here that we're going to be using. We're also going to have some round brushes because of their round shape. I recommend having at least one thicker and one smaller one. And then a brush you don't hear too much about is a fan brush because of its fan shape. This is great for adding on details even on oil paint that's still a little bit wet for like sea spray and some nice, adding in some hints of movement which we're going to demonstrate with the fan brush. Next, we're going to have some charcoal and also a low grade pencil. These are going to be to sketch out our photograph on our canvas before we actually start painting to kind of give ourselves a road map. And last, but not least, it's a medium. This is basically, what this will do is thin the paint out. So, basically it'll more easily spread over the canvas and it'll also help the blending effects.
