"Okay, you're going to need paints and I recommend tube type paint because it's generally better quality than the cake paints that you buy in trays. This paint is basically placed in here and let dry and sometimes it's a good idea just to use paint straight out of the tube, and this is a good place for you to put it because when it dries you can still reuse it very easily. The colors I'm going to use today are quinacridone rose, or permanent rose, yellow, orlane. Although orlane is a more expensive color and it's optional, it's more transparent so it looks better for me, and then we're going to need probably yellow ochre, burnt sienna, burnt umber, thalo green, cobalt blue, you'll need Payne's gray, and probably a thalo blue which is right here."
