So, what should you bring to an art party?
“I love the idea of a potluck art party where people bring their favorite supplies, whether it be colored pencils, water colors, wine, or markers. [It’s just something fun], so don’t go crazy at the art supply store because sometimes supplies can be pricey. [Plus], you don’t need expensive tools to have a good time creating art.”

There’s more to your art kit than meets the eye.
“I like using the kit in quirky ways that you wouldn’t expect. For example, if you’re intimidated by a paint brush, simply make shapes as if you were creating a background instead of creating a masterpiece. Remember, with acrylics you can layer, so don’t get hung up on it looking perfect every step of the way.

Beginners have no fear!
“Just relax and have fun with it! We’ve got a ton of videos and ideas for you so don’t feel too intimidated when you first open it up. I think people should just go for it and experiment and have fun.

I was so excited when FabFitFun asked me to curate a kit and go into the development process of really making sure this kit was great for everybody. We picked out really fun, bright colors for the acrylic paints and a canvas size that’s not too intimidating. The tools were really important to me so we picked my favorite size paint brush as well as the foam brush.”
