Question from Janine R.

Answer from Georgia C. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi Janine! Yes. All students must buy and bring their own supplies. The instructor goes over the supply list in great detail during the first class. Just make sure you bring 100% cotton watercolor paper, a few brushes, a board to prop up their painting, and a few tubes of paint. The teacher will have brushes and paint for you to try out.
