Other supplies;

Palette
There are many palettes available for acrylic painters. Some are "Stay Wet" palettes that help you save your paint. If you are on a tight budget you can use a plastic, glass or ceramic plate. All three will wash up nicely after use.

Gesso (any brand, students choice) I use gesso for various techniques.

Sea Sponge
