Please note you do not need to run out and buy all these new supplies (unless, of course, you were hoping for an excuse and then by all means), this supply list is for your reference and to make things a bit easier (clickable images & links). Quite often you can make do with what you have or swap out one brand for another although it is always fun to experiment and play with different materials and see what different artists are using. Often on our journey its easy to think that if you just had the right this or that, or new this or that, then your work would progress. The most important thing is showing up to the practice of creating. The odd supply might be essential for one lesson here or there but if you have a general supply of basics you should be fine- improvise & experiment like an artist. Down the bottom you will find the supply lists from the presenters but remember you can swap things out, choose your own colours and improvise.
Be sure that this supply list doesn't overwhelm you- use what you have :) Don't let not having the "right" supplies stop you from creating. This list is just a reference.
Also note- this list is subject to grow as the presenters add bits and bobs :)
