Evolving Supply List
Please note you do not need to run out and buy all these new supplies (unless, of course, you were hoping for an excuse and then by all means). This supply list is for your reference and to make information a bit easier (clickable links). I can’t guarentee that I will use all of these or that I won’t reach for something that is not on the list but it is a good representation of what I have at hand when I sit down to journal.
Quite often you can make do with what you have or swap out one brand for another although it is always fun to experiment and play with different materials. Often on our journey its easy to think that if you just had the right this or that, or new and magical thing, then your work will transform in some magical way. The most important thing is showing up to the practice of creating. The odd supply might be essential for one lesson here or there but if you have a general supply of basics you should be fine- improvise & experiment like an artist.

Optional Supplies:
My can't live without Masterson palette. Of course you don't "need" this palette but wow didn't it revolutionise my painting practice. I hated wasting paint so would never put out enough or a child would demand attention and the paint would dry out, or the heat would get it. When I discovered this it made painting easier- I lay out a palette and it may last me a month!! I can paint for several hours with the moisture below keeping the paint fresh, or just for 5 mins without all the set up. As long as I remember to put the lid on when I get up it is perfect for me- no more paint wastage.
