Live Painting with EttaVee: Art Heart
Supplies List - 02/13/2022
Setting up your painting area:
Clean and flat area to paint
Water to clean brushes
Cloth or paper towels to dry brushes
Canvas (regular-shaped) or Heart-shaped canvas - I’ll be painting on small canvas panel with a surface of 9”x12”
Paint Brushes*
I personally will be using a 1” brush by Daler Rowney Graduate series (Simply Simmons in the US), but I believe they’re out of stock everywhere online. You can pick up a Zen Oval Wash Brush in its place.
Filbert - Size 8 or Filbert Comb - Size 10
*Please note that I will be painting on a small surface of 9 x 12, the brush sizes above reflect that. If you are painting on a larger surface, just make sure you have a large size brush, medium brush and small brush for details.
Optional - Hair dryer for quicker drying
Acrylic Paints:
I’ll be using a mix of paint brands Liquitex Basics and System3 Acrylics by Daler Rowney to show that you can create bright and colorful artwork using inexpensive paints! You may use any brand of acrylics of your choosing for this paint session. Feel free to select any specific colors that you want in your piece.
Places to buy acrylic paints: Michaels (check site for coupons!), Blick Art & Amazon
