For these projects, you'll need:
• Color Wheel and Color Chart templates printed on cardstock
• A few extra sheets of cardstock
• Small paint brushes (I used 1/2-inch angle and #8 bright, but it doesn't really matter)
• 2 jars of clean water
• Paper towels
• A marker or pen

Paint colors needed:
• Primary Red
• Primary Blue
• Primary Yellow
• Your preferred color palette. For the month of September, my color palette consists of Liquitex Heavy Body paints in the following colors:
• Cadmium Red Medium
• Alizarin Crimson
• Cadmium Yellow Light
• Yellow Oxide
• Ultramarine Blue (Red Shade)
• Phthalocyanine Blue (Green Shade)
• Burnt Umber
• Unbleached Titanium White
• Titanium White
• Mars Black
Your palette can consist of any colors you like, though for the month of September, I challenge you to limit it as much as you're comfortable with, and try to stick to that palette throughout the month.
