MATERIALS YOU NEED
Acrylic Colors:
- Manganese blue
- Crimson red
- Yellow ochre
- Burnt Umber
- White gesso or paint
Surface:
- I painted on a A6 acrylic paper.
Acrylic Brushes:
- I used a size 4 flat brush (flat brush set) which is perfect for this canvas size. If you are painting bigger, then switch to a size that is proportionate with your painting surface.
- Size 2 round brush (round brush set)
Preparing Your Workspace
Ensure you have a clean, well-lit space to work. Cover your surface with newspaper or a drop cloth to catch any spills.
Organizing Your Supplies
Keep all your materials within arm’s reach. Arrange your paints, brushes, and tools so you can easily grab what you need as you work.
