Materials for Art Class

Wondering what art supplies to have handy while you're drawing, painting and creating? We've put together some basic details of art materials you might like to use when drawing and painting with Artventure.

What art supplies should I have?

Getting started is easy!

Watercolour paints

Powder based, large discs are ideal.

Oil pastels

Make sure they're oil based, NOT water soluble.

Cartridge paper

A3 is a great size, A2 is even better if you have the space. Photocopy paper is NOT ideal.

Water pot

A wider base on the pot is less likely to accidentally tip over.

 

Permanent Marker

If you're painting after using marker it's important you've used permanent (not water based) so it doesn't run with the paint.

Paint brushes

Large and small brushes.
