Please bring paint you like to use or are comfortable with. If you are a beginner perhaps a set of colors would be a good choice, allowing for experimentation. I know how expensive paint can be. Please bring what you can comfortably afford. I will bring my paint bag to help artists experiment with colors new to them.
