For students who need a little help with supplies - considering this kit - which has a good portion of the supplies needed for this project. It can be a fraction of the cost of purchasing individual tubes of paint, etc.
Brushes are not included as this is largely a personal preference for artists, however we do have some very basic brushes at the studio which you are welcome to use if you like.
