Painting Palette - The bigger the better. Plex or tempered glass with a painted gray back work great. Disposable palette sheets will also work

Safflower Oil for painting medium
. I use Safflower oil as my painting medium and it works great and isn’t toxic or smell Many paint companies use it instead on Linseed oil in their paints
I buy Safflower oil in bottles by Utrecht or Gamblin

Baby oil to clean my brushes and only to clean brushes.
Roll of paper towels and plastic grocery bags for trash
