Heavy Bodied Acrylic Paint

The heavy bodied acrylics work so well with a palette knife! They do not come in the large array of colors that you can get in craft paints, but their quality is great.

Canvases

I use canvases for both mixed media paintings and palette knife art. I like the gallery wrapped canvases best because of their sturdiness and tightly stretched canvas on the frame.

Easel

This is very similar to the easel that I use. It is lightweight, adjustable, and easy to pack up and take with you if you decide to paint outdoors.

Matte Gel Medium

One of my very favorite adhesives for putting down mixed media papers and graphics. I use the matte version because I want my finished paintings to have a matte look. This can also be used to mix with soft bodied paints to thicken them up to help with creating texture. The heavy and super heavy gels will give lots of volume to your paints.

Soft Bodied Acrylics

I use soft bodied acrylics and my favorite brand is DecoArt. The paints with the gold tops are the best! You can also add some molding paste or gel medium to this paint to give it a heavy body for palette knife painting. That’s what I recommend doing. This paint line has so many beautiful colors to choose from and can be thickened easily with a gel medium to add the volume you need to paint with your knife more easily.

Wood Panels

These wood panels are perfect for mixed media papers, textures, and painting. They are super sturdy and hold up well with mixed media abuse like distressing, sanding, or layering.

Gesso

I use gesso to prepare wood panels, lighten up areas on my mixed media pieces, and prepare areas on mixed media papers before applying acrylic paints.
