• Acrylic Paint.

You can use any type of acrylic paint you feel comfortable with. Try to begin with a rainbow of colors with Black, Brown and White as well. You can blend colors together, or use whatever you want. Craft paint is perfectly acceptable

• Paint Pallet or Paper Plate

You can use a paint pallet if you have one, but I often just use a paper plate, a sheet of wax paper or tinfoil to put my paints out on

• Qtips

q-tips will be a great tool to use for painting abstractly

• Triangular makeup sponges (optional)

I order cheap triangular makeup sponges on Amazon
