Here are the materials that Charlie uses for his paint application series. They are his personal preference: don't feel obliged to use all of, or the exact same as, Charlie's choices. In particular, lead white is expensive and hard to get hold of; and Charlie uses a very chromatic, specialised palette. You will also need your usual supplies (paper towels, canvas, brushes, palette etc.)
