Materials List, Reference Photo & Pencil Sketch

I encourage you to just use what you have at hand, it is completely okay if you don't have the exact colors or brushes as I do. Just have a go at painting and have fun! You can upgrade your tools later.

Brushes:

• Big flat brush (For background wash)
• Smaller flat/round brush (for details)

Other tools:

• Magic Sponge (Melamine cleaning sponge, we will use this to 'lift' up paint)
