How about a quick visit to the south of France!  Can you smell the lavender?!  While I can't actually promise a real life European excursion, I can provide you with a convenient and creative escape to the beautiful lavender fields of Provence France, all in the comforts of your own home. 

Supplies Needed: 

Canvas: square or rectangle

Acrylic Paint Colors: Blue, Red or Dark Magenta, Phthalo Green (darkish green), Black, White (optional colors: magenta, yellow, purple) I always suggest buying the deepest of colors, try to shy away from any color that has the word "light" in front of it.

Paint Plate or Pallet: Anything you can squirt your paint onto. Having an extra plastic or paper plate nearby is also helpful for color mixing if you run out of space.

Brushes: Big Flat head (1 inch or more), Small to Medium sized Pointed Brush, Textured brush (wirey bristles/distressed brush, or fan brush will work)

Chalk: Something in a light color, yellow or light orange/peach (just not the huge chunky sidewalk kind) you can find at dollar tree or any Michael’s Art Store.

Easel or something that secures your painting

Water cup and paper towels or paint towels (something you don't mind getting messy)

Hair Dryer
