Supply List

White fluid acrylic paint http://www.dickblick.com/products/golden-fluid-acrylics/

IMPORTANT NOTE: Dr. pH Martin’s liquid watercolors are NOT light fast. As a rule, any finished piece will need to be protected with UV glass and should never be hung in direct light. If you are a geek about archival-ness and longevity of your pieces – this may make you uncomfortable. Don’t invest in them if that is something that will bug you.
