No need to purchase specific supplies if you already have something at home. You may already have all of the supplies you need in your home or classroom. You will need the following materials for this course:
Paper
Sketchbook or drawing pad (lightweight paper is fine for dry media -pencil and pens
Printer paper works great in a pinch

Canson XL Watercolor or Mixed Media paper is affordable and good quality - should be under $10 for pad or spiral bound

Sketching/Drawing
Fineliner Pen(s), I suggest a Micron 01 and Micron 05 (Amazon set, or purchase individually at art/craft store)
