Supply list for Susan Rowe Harrison:

Paints: (Required) 2 oz Tubes

My favorite brand for Acrylic Paint is Golden, but if you're looking to save money, Liquitex and Blick student-grade paints are also good options. Look for “Hue” versions to save money.

• Cadmium Yellow Light Hue (Warm Yellow)
• Cadmium Yellow Medium Hue or Hansa Yellow (Cool Yellow)
• Cadmium Red Hue (Warm Red)
• Quinacridone Magenta (Cool Red)
• French Ultramarine Blue (Warm Blue)
• Phthalo Blue or Cobalt Blue Hue (Cool Blue)
• Titanium White (Large tube if possible)
• Raw Umber (Earth tone, mixes black with Ultramarine)

Or, a value set Blick Studio Acrylics - Set of 6 colors, 120 ml tubes (22.67) including one each of Titanium White, Mars Black, Cadmium Red Medium Hue, Cadmium Yellow Medium Hue, Ultramarine Blue, and Phthalo Green. If your budget allows, also buy Quinacridone Magenta and Raw Umber.

Helpful Notes

• Paints labeled "Hue" are student-grade and more affordable. They still perform well for learning!
• You can mix your own blacks using Raw Umber + Ultramarine Blue or Phthalo Green + Alizarin Crimson.
• Start small — you can always expand your palette later!
