Original artwork created by Amy Heyse.

Supplies
Canvas, Board, or thick paper of your size choice (I used 4×4″ mini canvases from Michael’s)
Acrylic Paint (I used Lamp Black, Magenta, Pthalocyanine Green, Titanium White, Metallic Gold, Metallic Silver, Magenta, Violet, and Pthalocyanine Blue Artist’s Loft Paints)
(Artist’s Loft, Master’s Touch, Dick Blick and Liquitex are all great cost-effective brands. Brands like Craft Smart and DecoArt can be too thin depending on the color)
If you want a non-permanent water soluble option for little kids, I highly recommend gouache or tempera paints. My kids love these gouache sets!
Paint brushes (One big, medium, and small brush)
Water
Paper Towels
Palette (or paper plates)
Apron or a Shirt that you wouldn’t mind getting messy

Optional: Hair Dryer

Once acrylic paint dries, it is permanent. If you get paint on your clothes, try to wash it out as soon as possible. I like to use Murphy’s Oil (Pine Sol, nail polish remover, or isopropyl alcohol work too) and the abrasive part of a sponge to scrub paint out of clothing. If it has dried, soak it in a little bit of one of the solutions listed above for at least 10 minutes before scrubbing off the hardened paint.
