Have you ever wondered what your favorite artists use to create their paintings? I know I have! In Tools of the Trade, I’m sharing the paints, brushes, surfaces, and other supplies I reach for most often when creating my floral paintings. This detailed, picture-filled guide will help you understand not only what I use, but why I choose it—especially helpful if you’re just getting started with acrylics. My goal is to help you invest in the right supplies from the beginning, so you can spend less time wondering why you’re not getting the results you want and more time enjoying the process of creating beautiful, vibrant paintings.
