Hey Art Spread Supporters! If you are new to painting, don’t worry – so am I! In light of our ongoing events, I bought paint, paint brushes, and a palette to design masterpieces. Read more to find out what I bought, where I bought my supplies and find templates here. While my art skills could use a lot of sharpening, soon enough I hope to be the next Van Gogh!
As someone with little to no artistic talent, I really wanted to paint a masterpiece at our event this Saturday. So off I went to Michael’s to buy art supplies. Between using my coupons and the incredible 40% sales at Michael’s, I was able to buy my paint featured on the left for $6.27!
The paint shown here is called Craft Smart. It is acrylic paint, which dries easily and is water resistant. Craft Smart has overall good reviews, and you can’t beat the price! The white, pale blue and green colors cost .71 cents each. The metallic silver and metallic gold cost $1.27 each.
This 15 pack of Craft Smart paint brushes cost $5.99. With the 20% off coupon and my $5 dollar rewards at Michael’s, it was free!
Signing up to receive Michael’s coupons and rewards is easy. I would encourage signing up to receive the best deals for anything you need for The Art Spread’s events or your personal art projects.
I am so excited about this Saturday to paint with you. If you have questions about the event, please contact us.
If you do not have paint or want to try something else, we encourage colored pencils and markers. It is a mess free way to create your own masterpiece.
As a first time artist, I wanted a cool way to spread and organize my paint. This palette reminded me of The Art Spread’s logo. It holds 10 colors, which is plenty for me! It cost $1.59 with my 20% off coupon.
