Watch the video below on supplies.
Note: I changed my primary colors in Pinata to Baja Blue, Senorita Magenta, and Sunbright Yellow. You get pure colors with these primary colors. (not Sapphire and Chili Pepper)
This is a list linked to Amazon for you to see what I am talking about. If you can buy these items from your local art store that is best! Please support your local art stores….we need them. ♥

Tiles 4.25 x 4.25 (I like to do tiles so I buy a box of them at the hardware store.) White tiles and glazed.
Yupo paper (this is a link to 3 pads of 5×7 Yupo Paper.) We paint small as the ink dries fast.

Q-tips
micro dental brushes (these are like tiny q-tips and wonderful for small details)
Cotton balls or makeup remover pads.
Paper towels

alcohol applicator I like small bottles with nibs to squeeze alcohol out
small dish or cup to put alcohol ink (my favorite is a steel condiment cup)
Liquid Frisket my favorite brand is Pebeo, and small brush and container for soapy water
“drip pan” I use an old plastic top to spinach (I have some to share if you do not eat vegetables
small round plastic palette
I like to use freezer paper and I turn waxy side down for covering the table surface. You also buy a roll of it at Costco,
8×10 glass (the edge should be wrapped with tape for safety) or stiff surface to paint with Yupo. This is optional you will see it in the videos.
Canned Air I get a six-pack at Costco.
