MY MATERIALS
(Most of my links are affiliate/associate links. If you click and make a purchase I make a small commission. This does not affect your price but does give a few cents of support to my healthy art-sharing habit, so thanks if you do!)
I typically buy my Liquitex products from Blick Art Materials. Their prices are cheaper than Amazon. But there is usually a minimum order amount for free shipping so I’ll also include the Liquitex Amazon store link below also. My limited palette colors are quinacridone magenta, phthalo blue, cadmium yellow medium hue, and Payne’s gray.

I haven’t yet found a brayer I LOVE and haven’t wanted to spend a lot of money on them. This is the first set I got, and they were decent: amzn.to/4dpmOmW
OTHER MATERIALS USED
PAINTING WITH MARBLES:
glass marbles (These are not the ones I have, but multiple sizes are fun amzn.to/3V9r6HS)
disposable cup
plastic
shallow pan… disposable is also good for paper 89
heavy cardstock (110lb)
LINES & DOODLES:
BIC Intensity Permanent Marker Coloring Bundle amzn.to/3wwLxoJ
Another colored marker I often use are the Amazon version of Sharpies. They’re a good value and often on sale. I guess I should call them what they’re actually called: Amazon Basics Fine Point Tip Permanent Markers amzn.to/4bK4vqU
Black Sharpies amzn.to/3QQgpHJ
YARN… could also use string, twine, etc.
LIMITED COLOR PALETTE
Cardstock and paint are on palette paper. I can’t find the brand I have on Amazon, but this is similar. I don’t often use it just as a palette, but it’s waxy non-stick surface is also convenient for working with other things.

One of my favorite paint brushes… a W.A. Portman flat #12… I can’t find the set I have on Amazon, but maybe they’ve changed their design since I got mine
