Let's just take a minute and get acquainted with the materials that we're going to be using and get comfortable with them. First of all, we're going to be painting on top of a canvas, so you can be using canvas paper but I always recommend, when you're painting with acrylics, to really just try and use a canvas, if it's at all possible. So, we have a canvas and then acrylic paints, we have a couple different colors you can choose from. You definitely are going to need the primary colors and white, that's really all you need and if you have more, that's great. Then the different brushes, I have a couple here, different selections. You just want to have a couple different sizes to choose from. You want to have a larger size, even though a larger than this would be nice to have, but this is the largest one they have so we have this. Then, a medium size brush and a small brush, a really small brush for details, and then one's kind of in between. Having flat brushes, nice and flat and round ones, a couple different variations of that is going to come in really helpful, as well.
