Supply List

This lesson is painted with the new Traditions Resin Acrylics.  During the year we will use them as an acrylic and oil emulation where we will slow the drying down to 5 hours.  We will start the painting using them as acrylics.  This summer we will convert them to "Global" colors which we use to paint oil techniques.  Click the link below for a list of supplies needed to paint this study.
