Art Supply List
Pencil Supplies
Variety of Pencils: 6H, 4H, 2H, HB, 2B, 4B, 6B in any brand EXCEPT Artist Loft
Paper: Pad of Bristol paper (Choose the size you prefer)
Erasers: Kneaded eraser & Hard eraser
Pen: Any black rollerball pen will do. I like uni-ball or Pilot Precise (can be bought online or in a grocery store)
*All of these supplies can be bought at any art store (Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Blick, or on Amazon)
Prismacolor Premier
Prismacolors: Set of 48 or more Prismacolor Premier pencils (Please do not get Prismacolor Scholar or Verathin Pencils).
Paper: We will use the bristol paper you previously bought for drawing. If the student is wanting to do their drawing on a colored paper, I have those in class for 25¢-$2.00 depending on the size.
The prismacolor pencils can be bought at an art store (use a coupon), on Amazon, Groupon, and sometimes at Costco. Find the best deal!
Watercolor Supplies
Watercolors: Yarka St. Petersburg
These watercolors can be purchased on Amazon or at Blick in Sugarhouse or dickblick.com
Brushes: Make sure you have a variety of sizes and both rounds and flats. I would recommend buying brushes online or at an art store (with a coupon). I like Simply Simmons, Royal & Langnickel, or Taklon watercolor brushes, but there are so many other brands that will work.
Paper: Quality, durable watercolor paper (handmade out of cotton rags) at any art store is going to be about $12 or more per sheet. I buy either Arches or Fabriano 140 lb 22”x30” sheets and because I buy in bulk, I am able to get these sheets for $7 a piece, so I charge exactly what I pay to lower the cost for students.
Pricing (You can pay in cash or Venmo me @sydney-bowman-art):
Full sheet (22”x30”) = $7.00
Half sheet (11”x15") = $3.50
Quarter sheet (5.5”x7.5”) = $1.75
Acrylic Supplies
Acrylic Paints: Utrecht Acrylic set (Either Landscape or Portrait)
Brushes: Purchase a variety of sizes and both rounds and flats. You can find so many good sets of acrylic brushes on Amazon for cheap.
Canvas: You can buy canvases online, at Blick in sugarhouse, or Michaels. Michaels oftentimes has their canvases on really good sales, such as 75% off and buy one get two free. I would recommend looking for these kinds of sales, as it’s the cheapest you’ll be able to find nice canvases
