828 - What supplies do I need to begin painting?

To start painting, you'll need these basic supplies:

1. Paints: Choose your favorite colors of acrylic or watercolor paints.
2. Brushes: Get a variety pack of different sizes and shapes of paintbrushes.
3. Canvas or Paper: Use a canvas, watercolor paper, or even a sketchbook to create on.
4. Palette: A flat surface to mix your paints on, like a plastic or ceramic plate.
5. Water: For cleaning your brushes and thinning out your paint (if you're using watercolor).
6. Easel: Optional, but helpful for keeping your painting at a comfortable height.
7. Rags: To wipe off extra paint and clean your brushes.

Remember, you can always add more supplies to your collection later, but these basics will get you started.
