Paint and painting supplies

I do not use one specific brand of paint. I do prefer medium or heavy body acrylics and I definitely have a few favorite colors that I purchase regularly. Although I occasionally purchase a 2 ounce tube, I generally buy the 8 ounce tubes and find that they last a very long time (like years, for most colors).


ART JOURNALING

My art journaling practice is primarily divided between work in pre-loved books (I am currently using a dictionary) and work in dot grid travelers notebooks. Many supplies overlap between the two book types, but I’ve only listed each supply type once.

Collage

While I occasionally use other paper scraps in my collage work, the majority of my collage pieces are made of painted paper - most commonly cardstock or index cards.
