"Other necessary supplies that you're going to want to have around you when you start your painting are going to be this handy dandy tool here. This will save you lots of heartache when you're trying to open your paints that get sticky at the top as they always do. This for example, this, grab around here, this kind of top which is really frequently used on paint tubes, this gets really, really tight and hard to open like this right now. I would need to use this, so you want to have one of these hanging around. Also going to want to have some masking tape, this is going to be one of your best pals as you start painting more and more often. It can be good for simply also just kind of blocking out something on your painting if you want to make sure you're not going to get any paint on it, you can stick it on there and that's usually a good thing to do in watercolors, but you can do it with acrylics as well. You're also going to want it to tape up your references, as you're working. It's going to be really nice to have around. And then something else that you're going to need is a cloth, because you could keep using paper towels and stuff like that, but why waste trees. Get a cloth, something you're not going to need."
