For wiping brushes: Paper towel or old rag

Container for water: I use old food containers like yogurt

Palette: Paper plate or waxed paper or piece of glass or plastic x2

Pencil

Brushes Used: #4 flat, #8 filbert, #6 bright, #6 round, #1 round

Easel: This is optional. You can work flat on a table with no easel for most paintings. An easel comes in handy because they save table space and some techniques like dripping require a vertical canvas. able top easels are great, light weight and affordable.
