Brushes are very personal and artists often have their own preferences, some pay a king's ransom for Windsor and Newton Series 7 sable and though expensive they will last a lifetime. Other artists buy lesser sable, or sable and synthetic mix, these are cheaper, and will eventually need replacing. For a beginner I would recommend Ken Bromley art supplies sable brushes. You may source these yourself from the link provided, or we will source for you if you ask.
Palette
Bring a palette that has deep mixing wells to hold a lot of water
Sketchbook
Small or large, its up to you. Just something to make a quick sketch and a few notes.

Cadmium Yellow

Burnt Sienna
Alizarin Crimson
Cadmium Red
Cobalt Turquoise
Burnt Umber
Windsor Blue (green shade)
French Ultramarine
