This class is scheduled Live on YouTube on March 3, 2023 at 7pm Central. It will be available for replay right after that. You can join live or watch later here.

This painting is done with acrylic paints and I try my best to use the paints that are easy to find. My go to for beginner lessons is craft quality paint. Here is the list of colors with  links to what I believe is the best match. I buy my paint in bulk for my brick-and-mortar and some colors can be a challenge to find in craft paints. I did my best to match the color and best price. You may be able to find better color options or prices in your local arts and crafts store.

Paints that come in tubes will need to be watered down a little. You can add up to 30% of water to this paint to create consistency of craft quality paint. Paints in tubes should last you longer if you follow that rule.
